Yes.

Yes. Again. I understand that exec has many decisions to make about the
running of progsoc, and ftoomsh in particular. I'd bet that most of the
decisions they make are the right ones... but it would be nice to know
when decisions are made, and more importantly WHY they are being made.
Even better... suggestions by exec to solve certain problems... list pros
and cons, and let those members who are interested decide. Maybe there
*should* be another list set up, but I would have thought rogsoc@nospam.ftoomsh
would have been the appropriate one.
