So, uh, maybe I haven't been reading F-l as closely as I should have
been, but this seems to have come out of nowhere, in response to a
thread from October? Did I miss something?

At any rate, if you or others would like to talk about the
chapter-selected board members (of which I am one) I'd be glad to do
so, but let's start a new thread -- this is confusing, as I'm pretty
sure it doesn't have much of anything to do with Kohs/Damian.
