[nabs-l] Personal Emails on the Email List

Tue Jul 1 21:19:40 UTC 2014

Hello All,

The NABS leadership has posted two prior emails regarding this issue. Mary
Fernandez posted one as the list moderator, and Darian Smith posted one as
the Second-Vice President. So please do your best to deep the short personal
messages off list. Your cooperation in this manner would be greatly
appreciated.

Unfortunately, I do not know anything about using Apple devices, so I cannot
help you respond to individuals in the same manner as with Outlook. However,
perhaps choosing the respond to all command will show the email address for
the individual who sent the message to the email list. This email list
should not be used for personal contact with other individuals, so please
make use of other forms of communication to find those you wish to meet up
with at national convention.

Again, your cooperation in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I personally do not see an issue with it if you're all attending convention.

It's always nice to be able to hear someones voice and be like, "Oh you're
from the nabs list." I think you should allow this, but if the Nabs
leadership see's an issue with it, then they can adress it. Respectfully,
Dr. RJ Sandefur
