There are certain things that can only be done if N% of the membership
(or the board) agrees to them. =A0Inactive members make those targets
harder to hit. =A0Therefore, 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. =A0However, I now resign again,
unless anyone has a truly compelling reason to dissuade me again.

The peculiar excellence of comedy is its excellent fooling, and Aristophane= s's
claim to immortality is based upon one title only: he was a master maker of comedy, he could fool excellently. =A0Here Gilbert stands side by side with him. =A0He, too, could write the most admirable nonsense. =A0There has=
never been better fooling than his, and a comparison with him carries
nothing derogatory to the great Athenian. --Edith Hamilton, The Greek Way
