To Ben and any others who missed the cancellation email. My sincerest apologies. I
take full responsibility for the lateness in the email, however, I did do so in
the best interest of the group as a whole. I did get feedback from a couple of
people that said they felt it was best for the people driving long distances.
If I had of had a few more hours to send out emails and in the supposition that
people would have seen them to vote for holding it anyway, then I guess I made a
poor judgement, but I am the one that had to make the decision and I made it.
We (I) can strive to do a better job in the future. This was simply a case of two
people making different dates in calendars, and then both being gone and out of
touch for several days.
We have a new system in place to avoid these things from happening in the future,
however, all the people that could have done the follow up were also gone. No
excuses, just reality.
Ben, as to the volunteering for the phone tag duty, how can you do that and not
check email? No sarrcasm here, just an honest question. I sent a personal email to
everyone that rsvp'd me as well as the GNHLUG announcement.
