I considered posting the info without e-mail addresses, but thought that
part of the point was to make it easy to communicate with someone in a
particular location. If I don't include the e-mail addresses, then people
will have to post requests for communication to the list, which is bound
to piss people off as well if it starts happening too much.
Do people care about this? What are your feeling regarding e-mail
addresses or no e-mail addresses? The way I see it, if the majority of
people don't see a need to include e-mail addys, then we can put it on a
web page easily enough. If they do, then it should stay as direct
mail. Any thoughts, people?
