My opinion is everything should go through Brian but we do need someone to finally make decisions on everything thats being discussed, I really don't care who does it as long as its being done. I'd rather piss someone off then sit around waiting for someone to say something :) And now Brian says something :)....anyways...thats my luck.... I'd still rather have a meeting of the group before March 30th...Myself I'd rather have one tomorrow night but I know thats probably not possible.... > That decision is fine with me. > > HOWEVER, I would like to ask for a clarification.
