Re: DASC officer election resumption

Dear Peter:

You were not someone who would allow himself to be
influenced unduly or who would have had a knee-jerk
reaction to a problem. We all know that good Returning
Officers never disappoint in that regard.
Therefore, I have to share here my surprise for
seeing how easy you overruled your own previous decision,
but I may understand that this is all you can do, in case
the only other alternative was to recuse yourself.

Sincerely,

Alex Zamfirescu
