Hmm..

Sounds like creative Journalism but perhaps some email aliases are needed so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is sent to the VP as well so that emails can always be responded to in case Jeff is too busy/out of touch to answer his emails?

Sam,

In your article

(http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/06/23/1056220519703.html)
, you
state that "The Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide user groups did not
bother to respond."


An email was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Monday, June 16. The story ran a week later which I think is enough time for a response.

Sam,

A few points in response to your mail:

First, the SLUG president, Jeff Waugh, cannot find a copy of your mail.
He has also been overseas for the last fortnight and not in a position
to regularly read his mail. You would have been better off emailing the
entire committee for comment, as was strongly suggested by SLUG's
contact details page.

Second, there remains a vast difference between stating that you did not
receive a reply to your email, and stating that SLUG "did not bother to
respond". The final paragraph of your article is a misrepresentation of
what took place, and unfairly portrays SLUG as having ignored an inquiry
that, in fact, the SLUG committee did not receive.

Yours sincerely,

SLUG Committee
