I was talking about AFTER the failure of the initiatives. Was there any 
opposition to John Algeo floated by ACT? Actually, looking back through 
the archives, the board specifically went out of their way NOT to 
endorse any given candidate.

I couldn't find the initiatives in Eldon's collection, but, if I recall 
correctly, they were worded in such a way as to preclude their being 
adopted, even the reasonable ones. I know I discussed this at the Annual 
Meeting with Sy, Chuck, Nathan, and several other interested parties.

I really expected ACT to continue afterwards. I thought they had some 
good ideas, but were tainted with hate, some of them at targets who did 
nothing whatsoever to deserve that level of hatred.
