I'd like to add my support to the new BJCC appointees, a fine set, and 
second Chuck's suggestions regarding the importance of moving quickly to 
establish a truly independent and democratic BJCP.   No time to ponder and 
debate the endless finer points of creating a Judge's Utopia.   We need 
action and an immediately viable alternative to the AHA, otherwise their 
power base will prevail.

I also agree with Chuck that JudgeNet represents a viable first alternative 
for the rapid and inexpensive dissemination of information.   I would guess 
that far greater than 10% of registered judges already have access to email. 
  If not, most won't be far behind, as recent estimates of the logarithmic 
Internet population boom attest.  If Pat Baker (or yours truly) can find his 
way through cyberspace, so can most anyone!  

Yours in the cause of unfettered judging,

Steve
