Re: What to expect at the auction this year?

Barbie,

We have discussed different options for the meeting night in the past.  
Our "sister club" GPAS in Portland has actually gone so far as to hold a
Saturday meeting once per quarter for the big speakers.  But they end up
getting less attendance than on their weekday meetings.  Why?  I'm not
sure exactly, but I think there's a whole bunch of people who don't mind
having a weekday taken up with a club meeting, but when it's their
Saturday, no way.  My guess is that this would probably happen here too.

I would normally add regarding the not-so-nice reply, "keep the list
civilized."  Then again, he did mail the nasty comment to you off-list,
and there's not really much *we* can do about nasty personal mails.  And
worse, one should also be a bit careful in forwarding private e-mails back
onto a public list.
