Rick I'm very sorry.  I didn't see this Email until just tonight.  I sometimes miss things because I receive a relatively high volume of Email and it can be hard to keep up with.  I just got an Email from Bob so I'll copy what I said to him.  I feel really terrible now...

 

 

 

Bob,

 

I didn't mean to cause any trouble.  I was excited about the club and attempting to contribute something fun and useful when I created my message board way back in November.  I thought that a message board would add a lot to the club and help bring in new members as well.  I never handed out that URL until this month when group members asked about a message board via the GSAS Email list.  I never intended to host the message board myself.  I was just brain storming and playing around with the logo to try to come up with a color scheme.  I am sincerely sorry for offending everybody.

 

Holly ~

Hello Holly,

 

The GSAS board is concerned with the potential consequences of any
unauthorized usage of the GSAS logo and/or reference to the club.  GSAS has
not sanctioned outside use of the GSAS logo or reference to the club for
your Message Board.

 

Accordingly, GSAS requests that you please delete any use of the GSAS logo,
and any reference to GSAS club, from your message board.

 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Hi Holly,

 

I need to apologize to you for letting so much time go by before sending you this message.  I hope the delay will not make the situation uncomfortable for you or anyone else that may have been interested in the idea of a GSAS message board.

 

Late last year when you first threw out the idea of putting up a GSAS message board, the board of directors discussed your proposal and decided that GSAS would not pursue a message board at this time.  There are several reasons for this decision – not the least of which is the potential liability given the recent law suits launched by the Pets (with an ‘s’) Warehouse rampage.

 

I was given the task of communicating this decision to you on behalf of the Board and unfortunately, I allowed it to slide onto the back burner.  It seemed like the idea had fizzled out so I didn’t make the effort that I should have made to get the message to you.  We sincerely hope that it will not cause any hurt feelings, but we must ask that you remove the GSAS Message Board from your website.

 

Thank you for understanding,

 

Rick Rose, GSAS Secretary/Historian
