[NA-Discuss] Suspension of Posting Privileges for Eric Brunner Williams

[Kieren McCarthy]

Peculiar sense of deja vu here.

Wasn't it around the same time as elections last year that people started
throwing around insults, claiming various people had broken rules, and
insist posts were removed from the archive?

I'm been occasionally dipping in for the past year to see if NARALO has got
less ridiculous and actually done some useful work. I think Garth has been
doing a good job despite everything.

The rest of you have, I am afraid, failed miserably for yet another year to
move NARALO away from a squabbling clique into something that resembles a
community organization representing the users of North America in an
important Internet organization.

Is it safe to assume that the exact same people will be going for the exact
same jobs again this year, most unopposed? There can be no finer measure of
success.
