MadRatdude, I hear ya bro. I kinda like the JCKS but if you don't need it you don't need it man. The whole idea is wack. It's totally bad to dis a long time member like you for choozin limited membership. No respect man and mega bad Karma points for that move. If we all all think positive we might focus enough good Karma to force the BOG to think logically when they vote. Kelly said it came from brainstormin. heh Do you have to have brains to participate in those? Dude if they want more members treat em like friggin human beings man instead of corporate employees. Duh! Again no respect and mega bad Karma points for that bogus move.

Re JCKS-- I've *tried* personally, by articles I've written, to get them to see the light that good science needs to be wriitten in moderately plain English, and not technospeak, but they are adamantly against it. I think it has something to do with the 'baffle them with BS" admonition in much of academia.
It ticks me off... and I HAVE a science degree.... to see such blatant disregard of writing to one's audience-- which is essential for human communication.
GRRRRRRRR fume.....

Did anyone hear how the vote went? We had to leave convention yesterday to make a Dr's appointment for Mike today. I ran into Cheryl while I was out there, and she said the vote would be on friday. Any of you from out there go to the board meeting or hear how this went??

Thanks much for the update NZ. I was hoping that would be the case. Maybe the NSS is listening to its members!
