One of the advantages of the days before the Web and e-mail was that Board actions weren't nationwide knowledge almost immediately after the meeting ends. Back then, there was time before the Minutes hit QST to give a heads-up and some background information to one's Section Managers about things affecting the Field Organization, things the members might ask them about at the next hamfest or club meeting, etc. Today, we've got a web story on line almost immediately, conclusions both right and wrong are jumped to by the members equally rapidly, SM's feel blind-sided, and we have a bunch of complaints to wrangle with before we have unpacked our suitcases. I don't know that there's a fix for this. Life isn't going to get any slower. 73 - Kay N3KN
