This is true. it is very easy to become bitter in defeat, take issues on 
a personal level and disagree just to make a point of making things 
difficult for the person who suggested it.

Obviously, this is not working in the best interests of the group.

It was you yourself Paul, who light heartedly suggested that the problem 
with Manchester Free Software Group and it's democratically elected 
chariperson was that we would "tear each other apart" (compared to BSD UG)!

I hope we can, light heartedly, prove you wrong. :)

I will work in what I believe to be the best interests of the group, and 
help Simon see the other parts of the picture when he doesn't share the 
same opinions as me.

I hope together, we can all work in the best interests of the group.

> I think right now Simon is going to suit the role well,

All I'll do is smile and raise my eye brows.
You Decide. (meme alert)

It's highly unlikely we'll see any lack of enthusiasm round here. I've 
not mentioned it before, but whilst there are differing opinions, 
there's lots of enthusiasm and people who *want to do stuff!* :)

> Congrats to Simon - the hard work now begins. :-)

Indeed, we've had the talking, let's see what Simon's Chairpersonship 
means to Manchester Free Software. :)
