Let's try to nip this in the bud, as unfannish as that
may be, before anymore misunderstandings occur.  The
question - and it was just that - a QUESTION - was: is
a non-WSFA member was allowed to have a WSFA email
address?  The QUESTION (if I could use italics I would
- consider this italics) came up because, back in the
dim mists of time, there was some motion passed about
non-members of WSFA not being able to use a WSFA.org
email address.  Don't recall the circumstances.  When
the QUESTION was asked, it was answered that yes,
indeed there was memory that a non-member could not
use a WSFA.org email address.  The next QUESTION -
just a QUESTION - was if Keith had dropped out of the
club or just from the duties.  A reasonable
clarification, if I could offer an opinion, and the
answer was he had dropped out of the club totally.

So, combine the two answers and the QUESTION was, to
the best of my recollection, should the WSFAlist be
run by a non-WSFA member with a WSFA.org email address
when one of the rules was that a non-member could not
use a WSFA.org email address?

After that, there was a lot of talk and people
volunteering to look into other sites, etc.  I'm not
sure if it was at the meeting that I heard the
suggestion that all Keith had to do was change the
email address to his own, which he has done, I guess.

This still leaves a QUESTION about lists and what-not.
 There was also a suggestion at the meeting to drop
the whole idea of discussion from the WSFAlist and
make it announcement only.
