Which makes we ask, who has a list of the members?  I never thought 
about it much pretty much assuming that it was pretty broad, but when I 
asked our recent visitor/guest Bob Bolles about something that had 
appeared there, he informed me that he wasn't on it.  Now, not that 
bbbBob Bolles is my bosom buddy or anything, but I got to thinking that 
here is a guy with a tremendous amount of SB experience who is 
continually looking into innovative ideas and the like and it seems a 
shame he isn't a participant.  I know he's a Republican, but that 
shouldn't matter too much.  For that matter, George Bush even called me 
the other day before the election.  However, I would think there would 
be plenty of others that might have been missed.  And is a vote really 
necessary to include new people?  Seems a little exclusive or limited 
(asking)???
