Why is rotation of officers beneficial? I understand rotation
in crops and agriculture, but in my team at work, I'd make a horrible
document writer or a vms client design/code person. Why does
authority rotation make sense? espescially as authority is not an
disembodied entity passed around like a baton; it comes encumbered
with responsibility and needs time commitments.

Oh, bruce is tough. He can take it. Waste no tears on him
(sorry, bruce). And I don't think that the job of the president is
for the sensitive types anyway. Herding cats is not for the
thinskinned.
