Re: [AGA-sc] Re: [AGA-mcm] PAM excavation

We don't have to let the 50% part gum up the volitional works. How about we 
split out the thornier issue:
 
I move that we do what Cheryl moved except for the selling at 50% part.
 
I separately move that well PAMs at 50% as described in Cheryls original motion.
 
Subject to seconding, I vote yes on each motion above, since, based on my 
pastage calcs, it's not a deficit deal even selling PAMs at half price.
 
I also vote yes on Cheryl's motion. That should cover the bases, now all we 
need is more players to stand on them ;-)

I guess we shouldn't say it didn't pass yet, unless you're expiring it.  I 
suspect everyone has been distracted with the convention stuff.  I 
certainly have. This underlines the need for us to have a secretary or 
"stick poker" person who keeps track of these things (it's supposed to be 
me, but as I've mentioned on the phone, I just don't have time to do 
this).

I normally reserve my vote as a tie-breaker, but I will vote yes to help 
get this stuff out.  I've already voiced my concern with selling 
individual PAMs at 50% off, so I don't have anything new to add there.
