I vote null.
That way I contribute to the 10% quorum but I don't sway the vote
because I really don't care whether we block yahoo. I will be just as
happy either way.

I somewhat agree with Mike. I would like to know who the leadership is
and who has official say in the voting protocol. That way I don't waste
my time participating in meaningless procedures.

TCLUG leaders make yourselves known to me. Now is the time to represent!

What a bizarre system for voting -- spam the list with votes.  Are you, 
Chad, in a position of authority within TCLUG and so your suggestion is
an 
official declaration from TCLUG about how we are now supposed to vote? 
It is extraordinary because it is causing so much trouble already and
your 
idea will definitely make things a *lot* worse before they get better. 
In addition to my vote below, I suggest that we should meet sometime and 
come up with a better way of managing TCLUG.

My vote: lift the ban.

Mike
