I feel exactly the same as Mark. I think that BLOC is a great idea, and I
will try to support the club, but to assume that I will be a member and to
publish my email is a bit intrusive.
A quick email to me would have gotten a positive response, but now I am a
little on my heals, waiting to see what is really going on.
Maybe I am just overcautious due to the multiple times I have gotten screwed
by people that I don't know on the Internet.
My suggestion is to remove the everyone from the member list on the page
unless you have comfirmed their desire to be a member (you can leave my name
on.) This may hurt your membership, but I think you would have a true club
with members who all wish to be members.
This reminds me of on 'trick' that the gay and lesbian organizations play at
Ohio State. The announce that on a certain day, if you support the gay &
lesbian organizations, you should wear blue jeans. Not that there is
anything wrong with those organizations. You become a 'supporter' of an
organization without even knowing it.

| I'd like to apologize for the confusion. I emailed everyone on the list about a week before the site was announced. I heard back from several people. One or two asked to be removed. All the other responses were positive. One email bounced. I meant (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.bloc)
