The votes last night were nearly unanimous, so I assume the 70% you speak  
of, were the member neighborhoods not in attendance. INC had a quorum, and  the 
vote is over. I don't think anyone is going to explain it to you, Randy,  
because it's a done deal. You just need to accept that you were out voted and  not 
attempt to re-hash what the body has already decided.
 
For two years, you have complained about what a burden dealing with the  
website and listserv have been, while rejecting all offers to let someone else  
take over the tasks. You've been the volunteer for a long time, and your service 
 has been appreciated. Perhaps the time has come to let someone else carry 
the  weight for awhile.

Randy, I  really don't see what the big deal
is...unless you are obsessive-compulsive  like me,
there is no need to remove the space in the previous
INC name  from all references to the INC on webpages,
banners, checks, etc. No-one  will notice except for
you, since you're the one who composed these  things.
Believe me, I realize that it will probably bother
you--as  little imperfections like that bother me all
the time! But it's really not  worth the hassle. Lord
knows, the banks have cashed many checks with my  name
misspelled on them :)
