Fascinating though it is reading this exchange of bitter wits, I don't think we're really getting very far with this war of attrition. True, the process has been very frustrating, but everyone here is acting in good faith and we should be trying to work together. Everyone needs to go away and have a nice tea, and then kill something, and then we can get back to the issue of setting up WER.

Well, apparently not, since we're not going to get a chance to elect a
new board until the bank account is set up, and there's no reason to
believe that will be any time soon. If the current board call an AGM
and stand down, I fully intend to make myself a candidate.
