[Foundation-l] Will the Board accept the election result?

[Dan Rosenthal]

I think we're getting a bit too far off the topic for this one. While  
it may be appropriate to note that some jurisdictions have laws  
regarding what can be said about a candidate during elections (for  
public office).....getting into the nittygritty of it doesn't really  
apply to this election.

We've established that Florence has said that the election results  
will stand, so that should clear up that whole spiel. And maybe it  
will prompt a new blog post from GerardM ;) . Margaret Thatcher is an  
opinionated woman about the Falklands, we've got that. Now with those  
two things settled, if we can stand to wait for the results, we can  
move on to bigger and better flamewars?
