About 2 Weeks Ago I Renewed My Membership For 2 Years; My New AMRAD Newsletter Says "Please Renew"

[wb4jfi]

Chip: CHILL.
1.  Let's not go after our members that have questions (re: "I think you 
have unreasonable expectations" sounds excessive).
2.  Paul (who IS president) already responded to Richard @ 7AM on 
7/8/11.  No need to jump in two days later.
3.  While tacos is often technically oriented, it is also an acceptable 
forum for members to ask questions regarding AMRAD business.  In fact, I 
often see non-technical stuff here, including humorous posts.  If this 
was just a technical forum (with active monitoring), the posts would be 
significantly fewer.  Let's not stifle legitimate AMRAD business.
4.  I agree completely with your volunteer comments.
73s,
Terry
