Boss, the church is going to love those side adjusters!

@Julian T Julian! Good to see you, sir.

@Roger Rheault Thank you, Roger.

Lately, I like to play "What If I won the lotto?"

@Jacques Therrien Fellow interlocutor Jacques, Your willingness to speak candidly about the long-term health of the Society is noted, and that spirit of thoughtful engagement is not only welcome here—it is necessary for any institution that intends to mature rather than merely exist. Let me be equally clear on two points so there is no ambiguity. First, constructive criticism—offered in good faith and directed toward the strengthening of our shared standards, culture, and future—is both appropriate and encouraged in the open forum. A Society that cannot examine itself cannot improve. Second, there is a principled and non-negotiable distinction between: - discussion of ideas, rules, structures, and the general direction of the Society, which properly belong in the public square, and - matters that pertain to a specific individual’s conduct, correction, or past or present administrative action. The latter are handled privately—not to suppress truth, but to preserve dignity, fairness, and the integrity of the process for everyone involved. No honorable institution conducts personnel or disciplinary matters in public, and we will not do so here. Private dialogue, in that context, is not concealment; it is respect & dignity. So to be explicit: Open, good-faith discussion about our code, our standards, and our future is welcome in the forum. Reference to private conversations, individual corrective matters, or disciplinary history is addressed through the appropriate private channel. That distinction protects every member equally. I appreciate your continued engagement and your stated commitment to growth. When we keep both candor and courtesy in proper balance, the Society is strengthened.
