Discuss: no e-mail addrs in the weblog?

[annegentle at austin.rr.com]

I definitely don't think it's appropriate to post email addresses to a
public web page such as a blog without asking permission of the address
owners. Nor is it appropriate to repost something that I wrote without
my permission or knowledge. Kendall, I'd like you to remove the post,
please. I hope you understand the reasoning here. 

Let me know if you have something else in mind for a membership report
that would be useful to the other members. I think you have a nugget of
an idea here, but I'd like to look at other methods for communicating
this type of info to the chapter (and the entire Internet). 

Thanks,
Anne
