<<<<<Ummmmm, perhaps..... Or I wonder if it's simply of matter of the fact that we (meaning various groups in the illegal immigration movement) cannot seem to form a cohesive work team surrounding this single issue for too long before someone has to "be in charge" or become famous or want to do their "own thing" in contradiction to the groups core mission and goals>>>>>

I knew what you meant

Here's where having written policies and procedures helps out quite a bit. Having those is like having a leader, except that leader is everyone who participated in crafting them.
