It doesn't matter what your position or anyone elses is. Presently GTALUG runs this mailing list and runs the club. If you feel that they are doing a bad job your recourse of action is to become and member of GTALUG and change it from within. Whining about it on the mailing list isn't going to accomplish anything.

Another options is to leave here and go off and create your own club and mailing list. This has happened several time in the past with mixed success.
