Pine controversy

[Joe Mabel]

That's all well & good, but if we say we don't give a damn about library 
users, we don't give a damn about anyone with access to Windows, in my 
view, at that point we become a hobbyist organization, and this isn't my 
hobby.

Joe,

Please don't mention resigning or such words.  Your reasoned
considerations have to remain in SCN.

Besides, wse are not near a decision point yet.

First, SCN has to physically meet to decide on its priorities.  That will
tell us if e-mail is one of them and where that falls on the list.

Then, after kicking this around, we all will need to physically meet and
come up with a list of options, steps to implement each, etc.

So stay in the pack.  Perhaps we should begin to float SCN meeting dates
and get taht first step under way.

Keep on keepin' on.

Rich
