<VV> CORSA Members on the Internet

[Bill Hubbell]

In our modern world or instant messaging and short-attention spans it seems
that if a person takes a few days off from compulsively writing e-mails he
is deems as "unresponsive".  Well, somebody has to work in this world.....

Anyway, some of you may recall that I used to be the CORSA Secretary for a
few years.  During that time we amended the CORSA Bylaws.  We on the board
had a big "discussion" at the time about whether we should seek membership
approval at the CORSA "annual meeting" (which is held as part of the annual
convention - in Portland, that year) or by sending out ballots.  We
untimately decided on Ballots, as we thought it gave members a greater
chance of having their voices heard.  Well, I only got back 346 ballots out
of 5,115 sent out - a return rate of only 6.8%, and this was about amending
our Bylaws!

Hence my skepticism about surveys.

Hmmm, I don't see a response from BH.

So, extrapolate!


If I were to do that, I'd look at how many VV members there are in relation 
to total CORSA members.  Consider that some internet savvy folks (I don't 
know the proportion) prefer "forum" to "email" method - and some portion of 
those are on both methods.

Later, JR
