>     It seems the AKA's BOT might be valuing those members NOT on line a
bit more than those on line. I have nothing against a paper BNL except its
usefulness has past. If we want to keep a paper BNL and then create a F&EL
in real time on line -- great, but why the duplication and extra work and
money? One reason I suggested using professional computer people instead of
a volunteer wa that they might be able to make a site here old computers,
webtv and everythin can connect to it. That's their job so i figure they
might be good at it. I don't want to leave anyone behind but I don;t want to
wait to move forward until all the non-on-line people leave the AKA. That is
holding back the club for the sake of a few. The present compromise of
placing the current F&EL on line is just duplicating what paper does and
creating busy work for Barry for NO good reason. It is a stupid, idiotic,
dumb, wasteful, uselss idea -- BECAUSE IT SERVES NO PURPOSE ON ITS OWN!   I
want to know which BOT!
>   members voted against an on line real time F&EL. I want to know where
the new candidates stand on this isssues as I want to vote against all who
are against it.    Much of what is in the BNL could be incorporated into
JAKA. We don't need 12 Chairman's Messages. Show Schedules are known in
advance. Tapes for sell change but once a year. New members can be placed in
JAKA. The membership form can be in JAKA. Most of the BNL can be placed in
JAKA -- if not on line. That just leaves the F&EL.    The collecting trip
debate has not just divided into pro and con -- that is a surface insight.
What has been exposed here is that the nay sayers have powerful points for
NOT wasting the AKA's time and money on this while the yeah sayers have yet
to produce one COMPELING reason to do a collcting trip. That is their
challenge. It not a question of doing it because we can or want to -- BUT
WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
