A couple of referees should be suitable in many cases - anything which would not deter people from volunteering.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007863347348182876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-32845186663315511822008-12-20T12:30:00.000+00:002008-12-20T12:30:00.000+00:00So this stupid bitch wants to force other people t...So this stupid bitch wants to force other people to give up their time to help with her pet projects?
