Re: RC: strange telephone call

[Jennifer Layman <jenn_layman@yahoo.com>]

This brings up something that has bothered me a bit. AERC sent out a
directory of all its members to all its members (who else?).  I was
never asked for permission to have my phone and address published and
distributed.  I'm not so bothered that is as I am that I wasn't asked
if it was okay.  Did anyone else find that curious?

P.S.  A friend of mine received a similar call recently.
