Re: [Killietalk] AKA Web Site

["Christina" <bassani at bluepony_net>]

I'm new to the AKA and to Killietalk.  I do sometimes see some questionable 
comments on this list.  My personal experience with the local clubs has 
exposed me to the nicest, most generous people, I've ever enjoyed a hobby 
with.  For that I am thankful.

Website developement is a time consuming task.  As a software developer, 
myself, website development is one of my daily tasks.  I have my own website 
that I rarely get around to updating.  I can't imagine maintaining a site 
like the AKA site for TEN YEARS, as a volunteer AND being bashed for not 
doing a good enough job on a public forum.  I'm assuming Barry has a life 
outside the AKA.  He takes time from friends and family to do work that is 
often tedious and his reward is our use of the site and appreciation of his 
efforts.    I wouldn't cut his pay, folks!  As we get older, I know we all 
realize how precious our time is.

Barry..I don't even know you...never met you...but thank you.
