So I gather everyone was invited to this channel and you won't mind
posting the un-edited logs for us all to see.

Perhaps it is just my twisted imagination, but i imagine that this
channel was used by the members to guarentee a victory one way or the
other.

I have this vision of Craige telling Grant "Don't worry, lets put
everyone out and sign me up, then I will vote for you- you can't lose".

Again, this is just my imagination, and may not have happend, but having
private convos during a agm is really bad form.

Sorry, my hearing must be worse than I thought, I didn't hear a thing.

Nice dig. you really should encourage debate, not attack those that
built this thing up in the first place.
