I don't view this as complaining, but rather as the
appropriate stage in the process. Several of us did voice some general
concerns about the membership section prior to the midyear, but apparently our
input was not sufficient for the BoD to consider going back over that section
and "vetting" it more thoroughly. Too bad--it may get pulled at the next
vet check. If it does, I hope the board will treat the problem and run the
horse again when it is healthy. As I stated in my reply to Truman's post,
I'm grateful to the BoD for having done the job they've done on this matter, and
it's just a shame that a few members of the BoD seem to view a NO vote as a
complaint or an insult. Far from it--we are just using the process as it
was designed to work.

Exactly. In fact, this is why Bylaws changes must be voted
on by the full Membership, and the Bylaws cannot be changed by the Board

I did not mean it was too late, bad choice of words. Maybe
I just should have said it was a little late to start complaining about
something that has been publicized to death......
