Lew,
Perhaps, as CAC chairman, you know why this is being looked into at all.
Aside from the never-ending arguments here on the contest reflector, what's
driving this ?
I would suggest that more effort be put into important stuff like getting
positive publicity for contesting instead of letting the "vocal minority"
get all the attention up there in Newington.
73,
Bob
