The ARRL's rules regarding candidacy for elected ARRL positions existed
decades before Carl's run.

They go all the way back to the very beginning of the League. They're
really very basic conflict-of-interest rules. Someone whose employment
is tied to parts of the radio industry that conflict with amateur
radio, or could conflict with amateur radio, are not allowed to hold
policy-making ARRL positions, such as Director and Vice-Director.

[to Jimmy the M:]
What "radio industry" "conflicts with amateur radio," Mr.
Professional in the Transportation Industry?

[snip of Len's "blah, blah, blah"]

Summary of Len's comments:

Len is still suspicious of the ARRL. Len believes Carl should have been
allowed to run. Len believes that Carl would have brought change, even
if he would have been one of many ARRL Directors if elected.

Len is still not a radio amateur and not an ARRL member. Len is not a
participant in amateur radio and his views of what is best for amateur
radio and what is best for the ARRL are still irrelevant.
