Ärende: Campaigning...
======================
Hello everybody.

   Since I am the n00b of the group, I am probably the only one who truly needs
to step out there and campaign. I shot an email to Donald, asking for funds and
have not heard back from him - so a road trip to your states and countries is
not looking promising.

Pros

*  I am a full-time programmer, developing Mailers, Tossers, BBS Doors, BBS
software and Utilties 7 days a week. I am able to do this full time, as I
messed up my body years ago working 140 to 150 weeks for almost a year
straight. Now, I have a real struggle in staying away... I passout about every
3 hours. This as I have been told is not an acceptable disability, as I could
do things to make income... which I am working on too... developing an
accounting system to compete with QuickBooks, PeachTree, Great Plains, etc.

*  I am not political at all. I grew-up in Bitburg Germany. Military Brat. Have
the Yes Sir, No Sir, down pat.

*  I am actively developing solutions from my past and try to apply them to
Fido to see if they could improve protocols, structures.

*  Personally, this is an honorable title - meaning, I will be updating my
online resumes to reflect my involvement (if elected). While never really using
Fidonet to it's fullest (global communications with routed netmails)... I have
always contributed on my own nickle. When I was 1:362/288 - I bought the first
Planet Connect Dish, and pulled *everything* into a PAY-FOR-FIDONET for free. I
even worked with Planet Connect, developing the UPI news feed on their end.

*  Anyway, I will try my best to be an asset to the committee and look forward
to helping where I can, and however I am needed.

*  I also look at FTN as a solution, providing a path for other networks to
exist. And currently I am involved in 5 of the 7 networks I am a member of. So,
I get to hear in echos where anything goes - complaints, questions, etc.

Cons

*  Terrible Speller - luckily Google is always open on another monitor - so I
try to double check words or phrases that I say but, need to verify.

*  I do not always double check my writing, so sometimes the hands out type
what I am thinking, and memory muscle steps in. In this roll, I will have to
force myself to always double check myself, as I double check others.

*  I have been known to mis-quote a terminology as I try to ask a question.
However, both time Mark Lewis had stepped in and pointed out my mistake
(thanks).

If you read all the way down to here - I appreciate your time, so thank you!
