[Qcwa] Re: QCWA digest, Vol 1 #353 - 1 msg

Thank you sir for your nice message. From the messages I had been reading on
the list, I immediately hit the roof. All of a sudden, after 11 years of
novice computer usage, I began getting over 100 e-mails a day and for the
first time using my call letters. I am surely glad if it is as you say, and
no e-mail address's were given out, but someone did all in the last month.

As far as I am concerned, this is an invasion of my privacy, something I
value very much. I hope our erstwhile organization never entertains such a
thought again. I think an appeal to the membership would be sufficient.

Also, don't be so quick on the trigger to cancel someone's membership, one
should do all that is possible to woo that person back into the organization
using all the diplomacy that got you elected. It's damn hard enough to
recruit new members as it is.
