[ilds] OMG XVIII

Fri May 30 07:58:08 PDT 2014

Sumantra, yes we did see it. It's my understanding that, for some technical
reason, the poster no longer sees his or her post on the ILDS listserv.
Which is obviously less than ideal, and probably has served to suppress
interactivity.

After the above messages from Marc and Sumantra and Billy, I was hoping to
hear from Linda Rashidi, the incoming president of the ILDS. A little
communication from the leaders of the organization to the dues-paying
members would be welcome.

Thanks - Ken
