Yes it's a bit of a shame, but I am less disappointed than surprised. So what
does it mean:

- Apathy is rampant, the membership doesn't give a rat's ass about anything,
including their elected guiding board?

- Voting doesn't mean much in the way of -plus privileges?

- Voters do care, but figure that others would probably vote the same way
they would so their vote doesn't mean much?

- FITB?

I am not discouraged WRT 'the guild' which counts for more than any election.

Have a :) day!
