Hmmm... The bugbear of officiality bites...

Not that I believe in voting, and not that I wouldn't vote for you, Ed, if
it were put to a vote, but as far as I can see the only official anything
we acknowledge right now is our pseudo-moderator.

As long as we're talking official-one-thing-and-another, this squabbling
has reminded me of the voice from the darkness at the Kon that asked me,
"what's a love-hound?" and i said "we talk over a computer network" and the
voice asked "do you need a computer to join?" and i said, "well, yeah.."
and the voice said, more or less, "well, sod off then!"  which actually
seemed rather valid: we have always been elitist in spite of ourselves, and
really owe it to fandom to make an effort at outreach, thru some kind of
edited hardcopy something-or-other available by subscription?

bglllhghhh.  bureaucracy about to happen...

my rankling envy again: who's this jeff to hand out official connections?
