Other than just a couple of posts in the links section recently your last post was July of 2005. I guess it hasn't been that important to post anything until now?

At any rate, the committee has granted you access to the SOAPA site (not SOAP) as long as you can abide to the following policy.

From the By Laws

4. EXECUTIVE BOARD. Executive Board members must be SOAPA members, and any SOAPA member who desires to be a member of the Executive Board may join by so notifying the Vice-President/Secretary and by supplying contact information including an e-mail address. The Executive Board will decide location and dates of the annual SOAPA Fly-In and select the Fly-In Chairman. Executive Board members will provide the Fly-In Chairman assistance, suggestions, and input, and will assist with the Fly-In itself as requested by the Fly-In Chairman. The Executive Board is empowered to make important SOAPA decisions, because the Executive Board members have volunteered their time and resources to actively participate in SOAPA affairs, and thus are in the best moral position to help decide substantive SOAPA matters. The Executive Board is empowered to remove any officer who fails to perform his or her duties as required by these By-Laws, and for disruptive or destructive behavior to SOAPA expulse any member from SOAPA or Executive Beard member from the Executive Board, with a 70% supermajority Executive Board vote, as provided under Par. 3. No earlier than one year following expulsion, any expulsed member may re-apply for re-admission to SOAPA, which request must be accompanied by a recommendation for re-admission from at least three current SOAPA members. Within 60 days of receipt of such request, the President, Vice-president and Secretary will appoint a Re-Admission Committee of at least three SOAPA members, which may include SOAPA officers. Within 90 days of appointment, the Re-Admission Committee will determine facts as necessary and provide its recommendation on re-admission, conditions of same, and fine, to the President. Absent unusual circumstances, as a condition for re-admission the expulsed member will be required to apologize in writing for past bad behavior on the SOAPA web site and promise the bad behavior will not be repeated on the same venue, and the minimum fine will be $100. The President will present the question, along with the Re-Admission Committee's recommendations, to the Executive Board for discussion for a reasonable time, and then vote as provided elsewhere in these By-Laws. A 70% supermajority Executive Board vote is required for re-admission.

Please keep all posts per the above policy and we can all enjoy this message board.

Boy, I hope this aggressive issue has died. What a pain in the butt for volunteers to put up with!

Larry et al... keep up the excellent work!
