 Sorry Thad, it's nothing personal, & I wish I didn't feel it neccessary 
 to take this stance. I'm doing it because I believe that the problems 
 that I & others have raised about the charter are so serious that 
 they'll severely impact the usability of the group, & related 
 newsgroups. 
  I've clearly stated changes to the charter that I believe will fix the 
 problems, & restore my support for the proposal. 
  If you & Alan are correct in believing that my objections are in the 
 minority, then you'll presumably get enough votes to create the group, & 
 hopefully it'll turn out that my concerns were unfounded. 
  If I am correct, the vote will go against the proposal, & perhaps 
 you'll reconsider my suggestions for a second attempt at creating the 
 group. 
  Either way, I'm hopeful that we will, eventually, end up with a 
 thriving DLSR group.
