John; While I can respect your opinion regarding allowing, or not allowing, slabs on the convention floor ... it is the newly elected Board that will make the final decision for 2002.

The candidate that was in the forefront of the anti-slabbing camgaign (Jim "Not On My Watch" Reilly) was not successful in his bid for office. It remains to be seen how the new Board members will decide this and other important issues that come before it over the next two years come June.
