[NJARC] Term Limits

[John Dilks - K2TQN]

Walt,

The message subject was "Term Limits".  I only stated that some members 
think that term limits would be a good thing.  This was in response to a 
statement that one person said (in part): "the present operation of the 
club is very good and everyone I know has no complaints."

How you could come up with so many conclusions about my short statement, 
boggles my mind.

If you want to so something creative, research to see how many of the early 
members (who used to attend every meeting) no longer attend meetings, or 
only show up one or two times a year.  You might want to ask them why.

73, John Dilks, K2TQN
