Well,,, I guess if I was more assertive this would not been a problem....

I volunteered to be the Gdi rewrite leader, when I became the leader I
was not the leader. Everyone else assumed they would do AS THY WILT
and move on. Hay I tried to keep it under control I guess I'm just not
assertive enough.... It's like fighting the undertow at high tide. I
can't keep up with it......
