Ärende: On my many hats...
==========================
Hello Ross,

On Monday November 16 2009 11:41, you wrote to me:

 MV>> I can say the same about your position.

 RC> and what would my position be?

Have you already forgotten what you wrote just over two hours earlier? Here let
me remind you:

 RC>> I think the multiple hats thing was more important in the past,

 RC>> dont really conflict.

Remember it now?

So why did you vote for yourself as it did not change the outcome? Could that
be because you can not see into the future and you simply did not want to
happen to you what happened to Björn? That you were just one vote short and
that was the one you did not cast for yourself? You did not want to take that
risk?

The "not too many hats" directive is not just to prevent problems that have
already occurred from happening again. It is also to prevent potential
conflicts of interest that have not happened yet.

I will save the rest for my article. Have patience.

Wrong assumption.

FYI: I was not pissed off that Ward did not "make me RC28". I was pissed off
because we did not get the election that was promised to us with the merging of
R28 and R29 five years ago. But that is water under the bridge, it has no
bearing on the matter at hand.


Cheers, Michiel
