Rolf,

There is a reason why voted is done "in secret" , better refered to as "in anonimity". Simply because voters really don't want it to be known what they voted for. It is the same with all voted programs. If we are going to have votes we must trust the person doing the counting. If we bring in multiple verifiers than before we know it we end up with a rumour circuit of who voted in what way and we open ourselfs up to voter manipulations.

I'm the public figure running the voting proces and that is why I count them. It is my role as a chairman. It is not me who is proposing all the changes. I demand a written proposal by the party seeking a vote and then I guide it through to its conclusion.

You guys seem to misunderstand my guidence and handling of the vote in a procedural way as being the proposer and the beneficiary of the vote.

This is your misunderstanding; not a problem with the voting proces.

And here comes my Dean moment !

Bloody hell, have some faith ! Do I really have to explain everything in excrusiating detail.

End of my Dean moment

I know you understand and mean well Rolf ; the others do so too, but don't you guys think were are going a little over the top with this ? We are not running a small nation here or dealing with big budgets. Does anybody really think that I would waste 1000's of hours and some personal money just to scam the world on something as unexiting as a beach catamaran class ? I will get laughed off the swindlers guild. Such a thing will not earn me ANY big points in any way. Let alone money.

Without some faith we can just pack it in; because running this class will then be undoable and I sure as hell don't see many hands in the air to do all this extra volunteer work.

It is all good and fine to air suggestions, idea's and even complaints, but it is just more hot air if you are not pulling your weight in volunteer work.

This is all getting pretty close to being downright disrespectful, unngrateful even. You guys were practically GIVEN a class by a small group of volunteers who did all the work for nearly 4 years and running. And now we are getting somewhere doubt is cast on all things related to the class.

This maybe a good time to show some respect and show some faith that the volunteers who have build this gift have nothing but good, honest and dependable intentions.

I'm beginning to become really sick of all this.
