Not at the April 9th Capclave meeting.  If there's been another
Capclave meeting since then, I wasn't informed of its existence,
or of anything that was decided there.

At the February 27th meeting there seemed to be a firm consensus
against placing the names of the members online.  Not just because
there were so few of them, but mainly because some of them may regard
it as an invasion of privacy.  We considered asking them if they
minded, but decided instead simply not to list any of them.  If this
has been reconsidered, have they all been asked?

Also, I notice that just 101 members are listed.  We supposedly have
102 paid members plus a fair number of comped members.  Our guests of
honor and our con chair aren't listed, for instance.  Also, I notice
that several of the names are misspelled.

I thought it might be something like that, but the current state of
the site was sufficiently broken that my only reasonable choices
were setting it back to before Sam's May 28th update, or setting
it forwards to what you had now.  I chose the latter.

Sigh.  This is precisely why I was reluctant to relinquish my position
as webmaster.  And why I was dismayed that Capclave business was being
done on a separate list rather than here, and at separate Capclave
meetings rather than at the Gillilands' and Madigans'.  It seems the
left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

I plan to leave the site as is until the club votes on what to do
about it at the May 17th meeting at the Gillilands'.  It's my hope
that, unlike at the May 3rd meeting, you and Mike Walsh are present.
