Jim, Exactly. I thought it was agreed that we would send the opt out message along with the first bulletin sent. I believe that we agreed that we did not want folks to get a cold message and to then opt out before they ever saw what they were getting for free. As our great Vice President, Fried Hein, has said too many times, "The devil is in the details."

Frank,

I agree with you that "we" were going to advise the "not opted in" members of the change in policy on Director/SM E-mail; however, it was equally my understanding (wrong?) that several of us wanted this announcement to be part of the first message we sent out, not ahead of this. I definitely think the members should be told what has happened and why, but I don't think we ought to "invite" them to opt out by sending a cold message to them saying they were added and telling them how to opt out before they see what it is we send out.
