Re: IIUG Board Nominations
Despite the subject line about IIUG board nominations, this thread contains no technical content at all. It is a purely social digression in which participants joke about US party primaries and tactical voting, then drift into wordplay about "wizened" versus "naivete" (misread as "nativity"), ending in running gags about nativity scenes, sheep and New Zealand. No Informix problem is raised and no resolution is recorded; the thread is of no technical value to a reader.
