I was an MS between 96 and 99, when I stepped down. I gave four public talks, and did all the rest of the MS BS.
How many MS & ex-MS are here or lurking?

I guess you better count me in. Was an MS from 92 til 98. I tried to quit in 97, but they wouldn't let me. At that time I had an elder in my hall tell me that it's hard to get into the "club", but once you're in, they won't let you leave. (Of course the exception to that is getting df'd) That statement from that elder will always stick with me. That's exactly what it is.......a club. A good ol' boys club.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.....I used to do the accounts. And you know what I used to do?????? I used to pocket all of the cash that got contributed for the month, and then write a check in it's place........that way, I had written documentation to my enormous donations I made each month that were tax deductible. I was so bad!!
