[TriLUG] TriLUG steering committee error in judgement

[Lee Fickenscher]

I'd hazard to guess that the error in judgment is actually yours.
If you have a problem with the steering committee, take it up with them. 
  If you don't feel they have addressed the issue, sure, bring it to the 
membership, but do so with facts, not with pointless accusations of good 
ole boy networking, conflicts of interest, and poor business skills.
