Many former national officers are not happy about this. Convention in '09 should be very interesting.

I agree that this will be an issue at Convention, even if the deal is already set in stone or concluded by then.
I plan to go to Convention '09! It will be my first one.

SWTXBelle, thanks for posting that. I'm interested to see that something similar has happened with other NPCs.
