Evan appears to be keen to take a circle-the-wagons and plug-your-ears approach. God forbid that anyone should criticize the obvious failure of ALS reps to communicate with their respective organizations. Maybe we should just organize another Summit so that we can finally hear from 80% of the ALSs that otherwise have nothing to say on any topic. Of course, Evan is right. Just apply your filters to anyone that disagrees with Evan and all will be well in ALAC-land. --- On Fri, 9/25/09, Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> wrote:

We know your opinion, Danny. You have voiced it time and time again. Can we now use these volunteers' time and bandwidth for something more useful than bashing and demotivating them ?
Patrick: you, and here, are smart enough to know how to use an email filter. For those who don't there are nice web tutorials on how to do this for Thunderbird: http://opensourcearticles.com/thunderbird_15/english/part_07 Outlook: http://www.uh.edu/infotech/php/template.php?nonsvc_id=247
Someone's merely possessing free speech and a soapbox does not obligate you to listen to them. If you believe that anyone on this list has been repeatedly sending messages that provide no value except to demoralize and scold, you have a duty to your own sanity to filter those messages.
