Therefore, I have seen no reason to step down. There are certain things that can only be done if N% of the membership (or the board) agrees to them. Inactive members make those targets harder to hit. Therefore, I recommend that inactive members step down. I myself have attempted to step down on these grounds, but have been dissuaded from doing so in the past. However, I now resign again, unless anyone has a truly compelling reason to dissuade me again. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan The peculiar excellence of comedy is its excellent fooling, and Aristophanes's claim to immortality is based upon one title only: he was a master maker of comedy, he could fool excellently. Here Gilbert stands side by side with him. He, too, could write the most admirable nonsense. There has never been better fooling than his, and a comparison with him carries nothing derogatory to the great Athenian. --Edith Hamilton, The Greek Way _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
