Not easy for them to Make Basic CHANGES or Additions like this -- but worth the Proposing, I believe. About 3 Months back, I officially proposed changing the TITLE "Sergeant At ARMS" to something less WAR-Like -- since since "Arms" means Guns ( 2 or more). In fact, it is "Irony" -- since the person charged with preparing the meeting site, introducing the Prez , Welcoming New Members & Guests , etc. , -- THIS Person does totally Non-War-like, Non- Threatening Duties. His / Her Title ( now ) is Way off-Course. MY Choice : HOST MASTER -- or , even better : WELCOME MASTER . Almost all experienced TM-mers I've asked about this AGREE with me-- but, then they kinda' whisper that TM Board will NEVER make this kinda' change ! Are ya' WITH me, Johnny K.?

In our club, we don't set a time limit on people's comments and we haven't had problems with anyone speaking too long. Initially, the problem will be exactly the opposite...people won't have ANY observations to share!
