I think we should consider whether or not we need a president when we
all get together to charter the group.  I think that Vernard and Greg 
are both great guys and  obvious choices if we are going to have a 
president or two or three, but maybe we want to consider some other 
form of (dis)organization.  

I think it is important to delegate certain responsibilities to 
certain people and there will definately be a need for leadership in 
certain areas (finding meeting places & times, maintaining user lists, 
mailing lists, file archives), but maybe we don't want presidents and 
commitees...  (Maybe some people do? )  FYI, I am not a communist or 
anything like that.

In appreciation to them both, maybe we can name Greg and Vernard Honorary 
Grand Poo-Bahs for life.

??? I don't know?  Pros, cons, anyone?

Can anyone think of why this might be a bad idea?
