Obviously it was not pointless, stupid, or disruptive to NELUG members and
frankly that is what matters. If you don't like the decisions of our group,
fine, its your right but accusing NELUG of being stupid is just immature name
calling IMO.

And this post was SO Mature. How dare you. Just because Matthew and Eric and
I and others disagree with your POV we are immature it seems. I agree Shiri
has been pretty mature about this and so have Matthew and Eric. In my opinion
it is you and a few other that have been sturring this pot and it pisses me
off. Constructive critisizm is fine but posts like your are pointless.

OK this is getting out of hand. Now we are all JERKS.
Shiri, I have a question for you. Do you think posts like this help your
cause or hurt it?
You know I was very willing to vote on this again but you know I am with Jeff,
Eric, and Matt now saying that this discussion has gone WAY overboard and now I
don't know if it is worthy of another vote.

Good for you that is your choice. I am sure we will get along.
Now I am going to try and enjoy the rest of my day and think about this for a
while. I will be traveling all day tomorrow and hopefully by then cooler heads
will have prevaled.
