It's disapproving comments like that that will add to the time we all spend
explaining ourselves.  Where do you get this information?  Don't bother to
answer.

It's also as wishy-washy as I've ever heard.  It's truly a bureaucrat's soft
"feel good" remark.  What sort of procedures would you expect to implement?
Should Elisabeth spend her time constructing such procedures?

Would you suggest sending a newly elected Chair and Alt Chair on a course on
mailing list management?  Has Elisabeth been on such a course?  Does she
need to?

Please don't wind me up, Erica.

Regards
Patrick

PS    And now that we've got the lists would you mind using them ?
