I tend to agree with Jim F's assessment. The limited info already provided members helped, but if this could be expanded - maybe as a supplement to the initial overview given them - I think we would accomplish two things. First, we'd continue to build a sense of "they listen to what we say after all" with members as well as to demonstrate we believe members can make meaningful contributions as demonstrated by the changes "we" made as a result of their input. A third benefit is that we may actually benefit, again, from legitimate suggestions from members.

Not yet, Tom. I thought it would be better to wait until after the January Board meeting, since there are likely to be further revisions and bringing the EC recommended revisions on board might signal more finality than is appropriate.

Andy, I like your idea. In view of the just-cause that would serve as the basis for annual, two-day parties, I believe we ought to be able to have an open bar. Maybe we could have these parties just before the January meeting. This would mean we could pay the bar tab out of the Board meeting budget once a year.

I would say that's likely. His e-mail address is hosted by an embedded systems business in Baltimore that he apparently owns. He is a very prolific writer in that subject area, with 4 books in print along with dozens of articles.

12 NOV, 2004 - 1100 CST Hello Kay... Considering the last name, I expect it is the same person. However, I have not directly checked since the article was forwarded to me by a local engineer ham friend. He states that Jack is the editor of the newsletter in which his article appeared and he is a ham. Here is the URL for the article: <http://www.embedded.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=52600715>http://www.embedded.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=52600715 Now, I have get out of here. Kermit Carlson, W9XA and I are flying to Fort Wayne, Indiana in about two hours for Fort Wayne Hamfest this weekend. 73 - Dick, W9GIG

12 NOV, 2004 - 0950 CST I apologize for the large font lead-in on my last posting. It looked like my standard 11 point courier font when I sent it, but there must have been an embedded font that I failed to clear when I pasted the article into my message. - Dick, W9GIG
