Non-Meeting members

[Charles Rishel]

I don't really want to drag this topic out.  But this is the second time 
this month that Cyber Source has "put down" members that don't make it to 
the meetings.  The first time I emailed him "off-list" to make my feelings 
known on the subject,  I did not take it as a personal attack, but just 
wanted to remind him that text does not always convey the true message that 
the sender may have intended.
That was fine, now it is back to the "no-show's" again.

As a "no-show" person on this list, I get the impression that my input and 
what advice I can offer is not wanted.
If it is "mandatory" to make the meetings in order to participate in the 
email group, then you might as well pull my email address from the 
group.  Personally, I enjoy reading the messages and try to help when I 
can, but I don't currently have a drivers license, and I don't think that 
an illegal drive to buffalo once a month to make the meetings is very 
advisable.  Or at least I don't think that any lawyer would advise 
it.  Since my g/f is not as into Linux as I am, I'm not so sure she would 
enjoy hanging out for 3+ hours while we hold the meeting.

Makes one wonder, if I was one of his customers, as I have been 
considering, would I get just as good of service as someone in the local 
area that can "show up" to discuss things with him?
F**k me once shame on you, F**k me twice, shame on me.
