I'm not questioning your technical skills, which I do hold in high regard.  When it comes to purely technical issues at SVLUG, you are in the best position to make the decisions based on your overall technical knowledge, familiarity with SVLUG's systems and long history of getting your hands dirty with the actual work.  However, it seems to me that this issue is mostly about SVLUG's priorities, which should be decided incorporating as many opinions as reasonably possible.
