In Response To: A Proposal to Start the US Backgammon Federation (Phil Simborg)

I just want to get this straight. The idea is to appoint a board of directors, and in turn elect a president, for this new association. The president will devote large chunks of his personal time, without pay, with wavering and questionable support, with lots of complaints and accusations of conflict of interest, and probably will end up being criticized and hated by everyone involved, no matter how great a job is done.

What better person for this job than Phil Simborg ???? I for one, feel that Phil should not be allowed to disqualify himself from board participation. NO WAY SHE HE GET OFF THAT EASY !! LET'S NAIL HIS ASS !!!!!
