I agree with Frisca. Add SC instead of replacing SC (unless someone really wants to give up their spot.) There's too much knowledge there to be lost. And while it's a good idea to review some decisions, usually there was a good reason why those decisions were made -- so why start from scratch. Continue to build instead.

Wasn't that like two years ago? I think he got married in like 2006 or so. |
Found the thread, it's a girl! however the prime suspect has neither denied nor confirmed current rumours... |

Lets have an election :) This is one I wouldn't mind casting my vote for. Umm... there won't be any smear campaigns will there :)
To add I like all the suggestions. Robert has personally given me advice even though I couldn't return the favor. |

you guys are cute, but I won't officially back anyone for SC, I just want to encourage all interested parties to apply when the time comes. :)

No better than me... I wouldn't advocate for either of us... We're too straight forward in all truthfulness. |

Truthfulness is indeed a laudable virtue.
The trick is beihg having the requisite aplom, tact and savoir-faire, coupled with the abiliy to differentiate between calling something a spade and a f*****g shovel. :O)

I prefer to pretend to have no such thing, especially when the consequences could be as dire as an appointment to the SC. |

There indeed exist things in my life that could indeed have dire consequences on me and my environment... the nomination of new people to the SC does NOT fall in that category.
I fully support the nomination of my dear friend Bear_Music, but at this junction all we are doing is P*****g in the wind as there has been no call for nominations or replacements.

I fear you are taking me far too seriously.
I might find that even more amusing though. ;)

Given that we see challenge suggestions becoming challenges Langdon must be around in some capacity mustn't he?
I can see why he wouldn't respond - it's not like that would be a "Hi people, I'm around" option - how would the conversation end there?
Once he puts his head above the parapet he'd be bombarded with questions and have expectations placed upon him - it would be difficult to control and wouldn't actually change anything for him. Do you really think, if he showed his face in a thread now, people would just say "oh, there he is"? Nope, the demands for action, change, evolution, development etc would become louder and more frequent. If he's not willing or able to commit to regular and ongoing dialogue then it is probably wiser to stay quiet. I for one though suspect much lurking though.
Non-communication with SC surprises me though - that a bit unfair; I think there is a fair bit of obligation to those folks. In terms of obligation to members, I'm fairly satisfied - I'm getting exactly the product I signed up for in 2008; not much in the way of 'new improved recipe' to be endured or enjoyed. |

I agree with Paul. I think the SC owes us a bit more transparency and dialogue in regard to Robert and his supporters request. It is frustrating that there is open taunting and baiting at times because of the absence of a SC response. To get a dialogue without being a them and us scenario would be encouraging for a change. SC, can we have an official response please.

Oops sorry - that's not quite what I meant (I'm not challenging what you say, it's just that I meant something different).
I meant that Langdon has a very strong obligation to communicate with SC - I'm a bit surprised that the SC have been left out to dry. |

...Considering the fact that I know diddle about post processing and rarely compete, that would be something that I would have to decline as I look for guidance and insight when I seek the assistance of the SC and I am ill equipped to assist anyone :O)

Now Ray, to be fair GeneralE is the most visible SC member and he does compete on a regular basis. |

No dispute there... mine was in answer to the supposition that I was being nominated... therein lies the difference.

Nice to see the thread all quietened down now. Everyone back in their boxes.
Langdon can breath a sigh of relief - The rebellion has been extinguished in its infancy. |
