[aclug-L] Re: [announce] Next meeting. (I am finally fed up.)

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your input, David.

If you have time in your schedule, your attendence on Wednesday would
certianly be welcome, as we will be discussing issues such as these, and
likely brainstorming some resolutions to these issues.

The issues you mention are not entirely un-noticed by the committee, and we
do have a few ideas that may help resolve some of those issues... but having
the time and man-power to actually impliment those ideas may be another
issue.

Again, thanks for your input, and if your attendence on Wednesday is not
possible, we will still take the input you have provided here into
consideration.
