Re: [AISdiscuss] Protocol

[Robt R Pries <rpries@sbcglobal.net>]

Betty is correct in that i did not direct this message
to any one person, but threw it out for consideration.
On a discussion group such as this I never expect
everyone to reply. But I just wanted to note that if
an e-mail is sent directly to a person and not to a
group I usually expect an acknowledgement. I am
wondering if that is the way in which most directors
and officers feel.
