Chris,

You've been very objective in the past..... but at no point in time was any of this a secret. Not documented (nothing is) but certainly not secret.

Can we agree to keep statements to the facts....

Mike, the fact is that I was a five-year member of this Club before I heard about a DE discount for Board members, and that was only AFTER I was elected to the Board. When Brian Minkin proposed to maintain the discount at the last Board meeting he said words to the effect that it had helped him recruit qualified candidates to the Board. Unless the discount is well known it will only help recruit candidates that somone on the Board chooses to recruit. It doesn't attract from the general membership of interested members. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to call that a theme in our Club's management.

Note also that I was responding to your candidate's message directly to me: "You can post-invent all of the procedural crap you like." to which I take offense. I'll terminate that discussion in another post.
