To: Susan R.

For too long I have tried to give you the benefit of doubt. But no longer. You are the voice behind those who would get rid of me once and for all. As a small collective group you have had at me for three months on this web site saying all sorts of things about me before I ever posted a thing. Remember, I did not respond until August 2. Some of you guys swore I was posting anonymously, but I wasn't. Some of you guys begged me to log on and respond and ''answer'' your claims. I resisted for three months but then out of some semblance of self preservation I started writing in. Now that I have written in you all want me to go away.

Now that some of us plan to call a special meeting to have a vote, you schedule one to try to overrule these efforts. Your desire to have a meeting just about me is pathetic. You are just trying to complete what your stacked board was unable to do on June 12th and what you tried but found out you could not do on June 19th. And, because of your poorly worded motion on July 3rd, you failed to remove me as the president for next year like I was duely elected to do.

Your meeting in October with your planned vote is simply to finish what you have been trying to do all along. To get rid of me. Keep it up Susan, you aren't fooling anyone anymore now.

AND THE PARANOIA IS RAMPANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

''cat-brawl''

I don't think that the current ''cat-brawl'' has anything to do with ''the haves and have nots'' or unequal representation. What do others think?

Filling Board vacancies

Thanks for responding. So, you'd like to see the membership notified of vacancies in the midst of a term (a term being two years), maybe by a special notice sent out to the membership unless a newsletter mailing is imminent? Then, at the next membership meeting, nominations and voting could occur? Can you see any potential problem with doing away with the President-elect position?

What do you see as the differences between the northern and southern portions of the neighborhood?
