"Do you really want to close this place 'cause of one poll?" Good Lord no. Who said anything about closing the place? I just want them to treat all members equally. You should, too. BillyJ--I'm certainly not responsible for "taking away the feeling of "pride and joy" right from those that would deserve all this honor if that honor wasn't now so "undermined" and laced with contraversy for the benefit of some that seem to look for ulterior hanky panky." That distinction lies with the admins--they yanked the poll, not me. "This stuff would have been much better all done via e-mails or behind the scenes..." That's happening, too, but my experience here has taught me that making a bit of a stink in public makes it much harder for the admins to ignore you.
