Mike, you pretty much hit the nail on the head with this post, thanks. I do
believe its worth the added effort to email all those who applied. Besides, not
all the applications had gmail or yahoo accounts. So far, I'm slightly peeved
at this point. I was sitting there checking email religiously only to find out
by a post off a BLOG that I wasn't chosen. Ah well...its not the end of the
world.
