Be as sarcastic as you like...but are you under the impression that you are the only one allowed to have legitimate concerns? You made your views known in five or six different threads, at length, over several days...there's no doubt in my mind about where you stand or what agenda you are promoting. I don't think we have less right to speak on the subject. I know all too well what the issues are. If I am a little sad as to what the result is (and I don't mean about who theoretically "won"), I have that right. And I sincerely am hoping for less grandstanding and a better system in 2003. I can hope. but I don't expect it to happen.
