  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 the email to be an opt-out route for anyone who wasn't interested.  I
only published imformation which was already available on LUGNET.  In fact,
that is where I got all of the information on the initial members page.  Some
people have sent me URLs to include and at least one updated email address.

  I gave a lot of thought about who to include.  My intent was to only
consolidate the list of people from LUGNET.  I was concerned about offending
people by omission.  I figured that including anyone who had "announced"
themself by posting to LUGNET was a fair way to not miss anyone and have them
feel slighted.

  I realize I should have used an opt-in system.  So, I'm going to switch to
that.  Everyone who hasn't specifically spoke to me will be coming off.  I'll
email those people to let them opt-in again.

  Again, I'd like to apologize for any confusion or discomfort I caused.

      Thanks,
       Gino A...

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 (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.us.bloc)
