Alright, let me pull my head out momentarily...

You would like to see someone accountable for the actions of the TCLUG,
correct?  Then you would be able to contribute further to this [dis]
Organization.  OK.  I understand your point of view.  I simply
<strong>disagree</strong> with it.

To have a single point of failure, er,uh, to have a responsible
person/entity be in control of the TCLUG would be against the morals of
why it has survived since inception.  The point is not who is in charge,
the point is how can I help my peers.  I truely don't believe you grasp
this concept.  The priorities of the TCLUG are 	IMHO

1) survival
2) community support 
3) <whatever>
4) see 1

If you would like to write up a nice FAQ and Rule list and Hierachy of
leaders and so on and so forth, please do.  You can submit it to the
list for consensus.  I wish you luck in your endeavors.

I just wonder if Adolf Hilter would see the TCLUG as an admirable
adversary. hmmmmm.
