For my opinion the mails of Dan, Robert and Fernando hit the target quite well. Noone - I repeat : noone is without failiures, personal errors, whatsoever - I got mine ( masses ) - we all, including....Bruce. One should carefully think it over, to start a new voting right now. This'd surelly affect + touch Bruce....personally I'd react then, if I were him. He should continue his job, just like the other comrades - and when the normal time has come - we can vote anew. I can't say, that I allways agreed with Bruce's style of writing - but I'm sure mine ain't basically much politer. And I wouldn't like to do the job of one of them comrades..... so - why not show a little more relaxed behaviour - was it Robert ? " We ain't in a Girls school " - which shouldn't allow real misbehaviour - but a lil' more tolerancy......eh ? A pleasant w/e ELVIS
