[committee] 6 hour warning: This Week's Committee Meeting Agenda

[Daniel Axtens]

Hi Ash,

Thanks for your answers.

One other thing:

In your capacity as webmaster, you recently sent live a 'improved' version of [TPG]'s photo,[1] which would have shown up in at least 2 parts of the club's web presence. Now, you argue that you did this with [BOB]'s approval, and I'm not debating that. My question is simply: are you going to play other pranks on us with these extra privileges? If no, why should we believe you?

Best regards,
[DJA]
