[SJAAboard] My future list of emails

[Rob Hawley]

I believe the last week has shown that email is not an effective way of
conducting club business.  Trying to express nuanced ideas in a concise form for
email was the fodder of much of last week's disruption.  

>From now on, I will generally ignore any private emails and will rarely, if
ever, participate in mail list discussions. We have demonstrated that the mail
list is a place for announcements and little more.  I no longer feel obligated
to respond to statements that I disagree with, nor should my failure to response
be construed as agreement.

What I will do more of is talking to members by phone.  After I return my phone
number will be again on the officer's page.  Many of you will get calls from me
more often.  Please feel free to call me.  I do have caller ID and have no
interest in conversing with several subscribers to this list.

We need to put a stake in the heart of this private meetings bunk.  No state law
prohibits me from calling Robert.  If anyone feels this impinges on their
rights, I will happy to reimburse their dues.
