Jon,
Honestly I haven't come to any conclusions. I was just aggravated and fired
of the first thoughts I had on the subject. I believe this list serve is a
great service to many people. The example you gave demonstrates one of the
benefits of joining the GGA. Informing people of this benefit is a good way
to get new members. Posting offending letters is not. I understand that
the statements made were his own and not the policy of the GGA but it still
managed to hit a nerve with me and others. In the future I will try to
ignore such posts and think of the benefits offered by this organization.
