Holly,
It was not my intention to be critical, far from it. Folks like you do a
wonderful job and I am sure all of us on the various lists appreciate the
efforts of you and other admisinstrators although few of us truly understand the
process and probably have no idea of the time and effort devoted to the task by
volunteers like you. I guess it was really an explanation that I and others were
looking for. I am sure few of us know the distinction between the list
administrator and the board administrator, given that we have no idea how the
system works. I am afraid we all sit back and take it for granted!
Thank you for your email Holly and I do hope you can find a replacement and get
a well deserved break. My apologies again if you thought I was being critical
and unappreciative.
May
