Kito! Think Different(tm)! :) |

Just my two newbee cents: |

1) I've heard this too many times now I guess, so I think it would be a |
5 |
Good Thing(tm) if Pieter -- assuming you all speak the truth and he's gone |
6 |
for good, or near to it -- would resign from his "lead" job. A king in |
7 |
another country is of no use, as he cannot reasonably know what his |
8 |
citizen need. |
9 |
2) Every country, how small it may be, needs a king! Why? Doesn't that |
10 |
sound rediculous for only 4 people? Why do you think the Dutch (me) have |
11 |
a Queen? The Ustated Nights are approx. a million times bigger, and still |
12 |
we have one. Why? Because that's the person to pick when you want to |
13 |
have some official contact to the group. Or the country. It's more a |
14 |
symbolic task, especially in this small group, but good for the image to |
15 |
the outside. A group without a leader is by definition an unorganised |
16 |
bunch of eh... hackers. |
17 |
|
18 |
It's all about perception, if you look professional, people think you are. |
19 |
Given the fact ppc-macos is considered to be the pain in the place where |
20 |
the sun don't shine, I think we would benefit from an organised (and |
21 |
professional) look. New faces, new attitutes, new contacts. Damn, it |
22 |
looks like I'm giving a marketing course here. Welcome to the world of a |
23 |
Business Information Systems guy! |

So, Lina and Hasan, I think what you want to do is a (c)Good Start(tm)(r).nl |
