Another month? Sheesh.  Anyway, the dialup connection wouldn't hold up---the reason you were confused about my vote is because it was taking a LOT of time for my messages to get through and a lot didn't get through at all.

In the future when I am at school it may work better.

[JasonMckerra]

Is a month too soon?I figure that gives us a reasonable amount of time to try and implement the decisions of this last meeting.

[Brandon]

Actually I meant it was too far away!
