re: Could Jim Chaney Return to Rocky Top?

Jeff, to answer your question, I wasn’t really making a conscious effort to differentiate myself.

I had a feeling the new board wouldn’t float for long because, believe it or not, this wasn’t an unprecedented first. It had been done years before, maybe more than once. It’s never worked out. For any faults it may have, this board is just good. Personally, I much prefer the layout of everything here, but even more, I like the fact that we have plenty of active members. Hard to find elsewhere.

There were several posters who took off to the new board and vowed never to return here, some of which I happened to like. That was my main reasoning in joining there. But there were plenty of people I liked here as well and I had no real beef one way or the other. I have tried to convince a few to return, but I think they choose not to simply because they said they wouldn’t. Principle, I suppose. Others may feel some embarrassment, but I wouldn’t think it would be enough to make them stay away indefinitely.

That’s just my .02
