Hi Louis

I'm sorry if you thought I complained about the frequency of votes. I have 
absolutely no problem with how we work and what we work on. All I meant was 
that since it only takes two meetings to regain my voting rights, I was not 
going to complain any more about the procedural bureaucracy of leave of 
absence.

I'm well aware of what goes on, and in particular follow every mail on the CT 
sub list with great interest. I was on the CT select committee.

You see this TC is important to me and I actually wrote a mail well in advance 
to say I couldn't attend two times. That the mail turned out to be in vain due 
to not having the right keyword was a bit of a surprise to me.
