I don't think that it takes much "computer" power to figure out that when an
admin has already approved of such an even and even adminstered a handle for it,
then peter is not the one to blame, he acted in good faith.

I am sure if he had been contacted by Marty Grund explaining that one of his
admins had made a mistake and that the event could not take place due to
conflicting charter rules, they would either work something out in good spirit
or abort the whole thing (in good spirit too), but the way they "handled" this
is appaling if you ask me.

I wonder what made Marty Grund act in the first place, did he just "happen" to
stumple upon this event?
