Ahhh. <br>That helps. <br>My concern was that Mr. Farfan might have thought his e-mail address was being carelessly bandied about as you sometimes see in client based mailing list programs. I did not see evidence of that sort of mistake and I wanted there to be a balanced opinion shared so that if this was a mistaken thought and my assumptions were accurte then the effect of the comment did not linger and cast doubt on the quality of Gary's hard work.<br>
<br>Having said that I also wanted to remain respectful of Mr. Farfan as I am not familiar with him nor do I have direct knowledge of his experience. <br><br>Thank you Roger for the added insight.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I find it reassuring that there are so many people interested in the success of the club that they are willing to invest their time and energy into such a debate. <br>
<br>Mr. Farfan made a critical remark regarding privacy and based on the evidence I have been able to identify in my mail message headers and logs, I have not reached the same conclusions that he has. From what I can see, the recipients of the <a href="mailto:members@hamiltonrasc.ca" target="_blank">members@hamiltonrasc.ca</a> remain anonymous until we wish to reply. So with all possible respect to Mr Farfan, I wanted to balance his contribution with an alternative observation. From my perspective I don't see a privacy issue.<br>

Hi Frank this system although we are on a new server has been this way for at least ten years. We will discuss your comments at the next board meeting, but this list is for discussing astronomy, announcements and generally anything that people wish to discuss as long as its not offensive. I believe, but I will check with Gary Bennett when he returns that there is a condensed version that can be set up.<span style="color:#888888"><br>
