    Rather then have these constant back room secret deals, I believe we should have a membership wide vote on who will own the board in the future. What say you?

    I say that's a breathtakingly bad idea.

    Why? People are sick of these back room deals. The cigar smoke alone is a killer.
    And I've seen the PM; I know garamet wants to buy the board next with her big Star Trek money. It's not fair, dammit!
    Oh, I feel faint. :drama:

    This would be a version of Solon's democracy, right? Everyone gets to vote on who has to pick up the bill for everyone else?
