should I repost to the list, or did it get delivered to everyone else?

p.s. I had a few posts before and after that one which behaved normally - i.e. I did get them in in my email.

Hey Group,
The Executive would like to start up this dialogue again.
It has become clear that the people subscribed to this list perceived that we the Executive killed this thread last time. I am not going to argue that point and I urge none of you to either. We would like to hear your comments and ideas on this subject. Again, if you don't feel that this list is the most appropriate venue for your comments or your ideas are too controversial, feel free to use the suggestion/comments box on the website.
It is apparent that we need to open the meetings up for more 'free' time. You can count on that for the coming months.
I want to convey to you that anything discussed in this thread should be considered ideas and not actions. <having to choose my words carefully> This is not meant to stifle the conversation but ultimately at this point in time it is the responsibility of the Board to plan and execute meetings. Your input is invaluable. Also we are specifically talking about meetings not CLUG in general.
I suspect that some of the problems we encountered last time were a direct result in the Executive trying to take in some constructive criticism, do something about it but not shake things up too radically. Ultimately our numbers for attendance haven't suffered nor has our membership sign-ups. This leads the Executive to believe that some part of the meeting formula is working. As was stated before it comes down to a balancing act, how do we manage this to keep everyone happy? We only have evidence so far of a few people who are unhappy or want to see some things change.
I encourage you to speak up. I am speaking to the people on this list who attend meetings because ultimately this affects them. I am also addressing the people who might attend meetings if we made it more desirable for them to do so. If you are neither, please do NOT hold back your suggestions but keep in mind that we are trying to improve the situation for those that come to the meetings.
I think that about covers it. Sorry to be long-winded. Let the fun begin, and I do mean fun. This should be an enjoyable process not something unpleasant.
