Stay with me as these announcements will finish in two more days. Wasn't
there some politician that had a policy about "No One Being Left
Behind!" Well I just hope that the carnage (lost members) will not be as
high as I expect it to be from the transition. It seems as if my "Ax"
sessions don't nearly take as big of cuts as the "transition" is going
to take. Well let's hope I'm wrong and that suddenly some will wake up
and smell the roses.
