Hi Bob, The TEXT of the message looks good. However, posting this message on gsas-ANNOUNCE implies that we would allow NON-members to work the auction - which I don't think we want to do. Anyone "working a computer" is likely to get drafted to run check-out and accept money, etc. I know that there are plenty of non-members subscribed to gsas-MEMBER too, but having posted the request only on gsas-member gives us an easy, less-confrontational way to politely thank non-members for volunteering and yet keep members-only working the auction.
