Joy you say that Ron should be "et. al. should also be included in the
motion." NO he shouldn't. But it would be fine to make the motion to
declare Ron as not in good standing next. We don't have line item veto.
Lets not pile items on motions. In the last motions we had a choise.
Either all guilty or all innosent. But that was not the point of the
motion. Motions need to be to the point and not include second, third,
and fourth points. These extra points can keep us from getting results.
