Hmm.., there's a good point there.  Though it's actually four roles: I
think potential acting secretary should be distinct from acting secretary
[for when I'm not acting secretary, and I'm discussing the possibility
that I need to step in as acting secretary.]

I'll make a point of labelling my posts when being anything other than
a normal developer.

[This post, by the way, is from the perspective of all of my roles --
but most especially that of potential acting secretary.]

Thanks,
