[volunteers] (forw) Re: Fwd: mail problems?

[Paul Reiber]

Gee, Mr. Moen - I'll thank you to refrain from re-targetting my words
in this manner going forward.  If I had intended the volunteers list
to see that message, I would have sent it there.  You've done me,
SVLUG, and yourself a disservice in this manner.

I'll thank you also to refrain from telling me how to do my job for
SVLUG; would you like it if I reversed that and started telling you
how I want you to change how you're doing your thing for SVLUG?  You
wouldn't stand for it; in fact, you would "lie in wait" until things
changed such that you could continue to do, for SVLUG, whatever the
heck you want.  So, back off, and either help or don't, but don't
attempt to stop others from undertaking to evolve SVLUG into something
more substantial than it was in the past.

Good day,
-pbr
