Re: [Killietalk] Don't feed the trolls, please

I used to love that show, I've Got a Secret.  Will the real Larry please stand
up :)  

I noticed that Larry did very well in the previous elections for the BOT.  I
also know he had to resign for personal reasons but I believe that a lot of
folks had enough faith in him to elect him and they would probably do it again
if given the chance.  I know him as a man of conviction and caring.

How about if we kill this thread before it gets any more personal?  Agree?  We
don't want to frighten off the fish :)
