Oh I'll be there, or be square.  Or possibly both.  :-\

As said, I'd probably not be very good at filling any of the BoD
positions, but if you need someone to fill in the blanks, if
there are any positions you don't have a candidate for in the
end, I'm there.

Did come up with a few helpful things I can do for the club though
[officially, or unofficially, as a volunteer], and want to bring
those up too, but not until everyone's voted, and been voted for.

Maybe, maybe not, maybe a little of both, maybe neither...
You know what the job market's like right now; every employer
scrabbling to get a hold of a few good employees.  Maybe that's
where [the best of] your potential babysitters took off to.



Cheers,

Patrick.

PS:  Maybe a cute .sig , but I've actually been a little less
     pessimistic than usual, lately.  Thanks Linus, and thanks
     to all the other freedom-loving geeks out there.
