Folks, am i the only person that thinks that the Louisville Computer
Society and the Macuser group go hand in hand and that we are one
happy family? I do know that you don't get the ACCESS if you don't pay
your fee, but then I thought we could all be part of the larger group,
paying or not, and even were invited to the meetings should we choose
to show up. So when Tom recently forwarded this letter of some folks
feeling alienated and with their smallish skills felt out of place, I
marvelled and did respond with a long answer that i did not feel at
all that way, that I had all my questions answered, if they were at
all answerable, that I always was able to have Lee's techno language
translated into bread and butter English and sent it off. Only when I
noticed that nobody, not even the ever appreciative and thankful
"Profile" ( I love to call you that - there are so many Johns) came
out to say a helpful word.
I then realized the mail had apparently not gone to the whole group at
all, and my good advice was probably lost on those who might not even
know of this email extension group or whatever it is.
And now I am wondering whether these people even know of us emailers,
and it bothers me. However do people then get to know Lee and his
immense machine to keep us all under control and keep it all running?
How will they take advantage of all the tidbits coming from Ed Wiser?
How will Nolan to be found out in his Sunday night program of scratchy
records? How will they find out about mini dvds, a fact that was lost
on me? And how will they know to what lengths some of our guru types
will go to help out?
When the Apple store opened and I wanted to put out flyers to
advertise our group, they thought i might desecrate their holy altar
up there, which of course left me speechless, since they could only
benefit from this set-up.
So- since we are at the start of a New Year, what can we do about not
leaving any novice behind ---- let us not get a Bush reputation here
--- Tell, me then, who did get Tom's letter?
And what do we do about it?
Marta
