Hi All,

I have given this some more consideration.  It seems this matter may have
more layers and require a deeper analysis than I originally thought.  As a
result I withdraw my motion to allow Dave to post an e-mail to the GSAS
Member Chat.  

Maybe we should table this discussion until the next board meeting and bring
it up as "New Business"?

This is why I suggested we come up with a documented approach to handling
all this only after some thought has been put into it.  I do not think a
simple motion will address the overall issue.  But, then, I like to drive
five car lengths in front of me.

Indeed this is a complex topic with alot of folks with different opinions
based on different experience.  This is the main reason I think we should
not open Pandora's box.  

I personally never had an issue with Hiro posting because he was int he
club, donated stuff and bred them himself.  However, I didn't care for Mark
Dorward posting LowCoaster's stuff every week.  That should be an opt in
thing directly from the seller.  I also don't care for Jeff's stocking lists
of African fish.  There should be one email inviting people to get on his
personal list and then we shouldn't have to hear about it again,

There is nothing wrong with the fellow posting to the list saying that he is
launching a new website and would like feedback.  As soon as there is any
kind of discount or remuneration involved I think you have the slippery
slope.

Honestly, I don't think any of this is a big deal but part of the role of
the Board, which I know I am not on, is to decrease future liability and so
I think we should be clear about our precedent and what it may mean.
