Thanks for doing my job (mostly) for me, Rick. :-)

Yes, there is a new, catchall list for SVLUG's "core volunteers." 

I had a lunch meeting with Bill on Friday, and we found it a bit...
compartmentalized to have multiple lists with 2-3 (active) people on them,
when we could all be working together on a single list.

That's what volunteers is about.

I'll be announcing it on the svlug list shortly, along with some mailing
list policy changes.

We'll get them added.

I'm generally OK with this; it's not like it's a security thing, but it
does require you join the list to read the archives. I can't imagine
anything that would be discussed here that would require the general
public's input, so I'm OK with this.

This alias should be redefined as officers at .

Can you take care of that, Bill?

Later,
