<CORSA Chapters> Chapter e-mail contacts

[AeroNed at aol.com]

Recently there has been a lot of talk about how to change CORSA. A good  
deal of that talk as involved utilizing the Internet more. Matt Nall conducted 
a  test of the e-mail addresses listed on the CORSA chapters web page. The 
test has  two parts, is the address good and how long for the reply.
 
CORSA has 125 chapters listed on the web site. Two chapters are now  
defunct, Chapter 799 in El Paso, TX and 975 in South Oregon. One chapter, 052 in  
Vermont, does not want to use e-mail.
 
Roll Call of the bad, 12 e-mails failed (chapter, location, e-mail)
004 - AirVairs - _airvair at richnet.net_ (mailto:airvair at richnet.net)  
(Interesting that  they list Tony Fiore as the newsletter editor)
012 - CA, AR Racing - _corvairjack at verizon.net_ 
(mailto:corvairjack at verizon.net) 
107 - Resurrection Corvairs of Yonkers - _npasquale at smtplink.mssm.edu_

207 - Group Corvair - _simpsonj at bellatlantic.net_

947 - San Francisco Bay Area CORSA - _CORSANews at bigfoot.com_

One chapter's mailbox is full and cannot accept more mail, that's Chapter  
008, the Ultra Van special interest group - _lew111 at verizon.net_ 
(mailto:lew111 at verizon.net) 
 
You may say that's not too bad, but not really. Of the remaining 110  
chapters, only 60 have replied. That's only a little over half of the  chapters.
 
If you are in one of the above chapters or know someone who is, please let  
them know of the problem with their e-mail. I'd also ask that everyone 
check to  see if their e-mail contact replied to the test. It is your chapter 
that is  being hurt by this lack of contact.
 
A fair warning, the next test will be for the Chapter web sites listed on  
the CORSA web site. The sites will be checked for contact info and to see 
how  current they are. If your chapter site has newsletters or "Past Events" 
how  current are they?
