OK, Gayle is a very nice person and and I happen to like Gayle -- this is NOT
about Gayle... this is about what she is bringing with her...

For an election that is supposed to have an element of privacy to it...
HOW THE HELL DID INTEREX GET THE MEMBER NUMBERS WITH THE VOTES?!?

I expected the auditing firm to HAVE these numbers so THEY could check.  In no
way, in any election, should Interex know how people voted - period!

Oh, this is going to be one interesting conference.  I have bit my tongue hard
on a lot of what was said here over the past several weeks - but this takes the
cake.  Interex knows how I, and everyone else voted.

Not that my (for the record) "NO" vote was any secret - but an election is
supposed to be secret - that's why they have an accounting firm handling these
things!  It's the principle of the thing - Interex should NOT know how people
voted... period.  (To people not in the US - please excuse this cliche) - It's
the American way!
