apology to board members

[vanhove@unavco.ucar.edu (Teresa Van Hove)]

Monday I wrote an e-mail that I really wish I could take back. Some of 
my text implied that I thought the board members were ignoring general 
membership views and desires &/or making themselves inaccessible to the 
members. Of course the board members are NOT ignoring members or making 
themselves inaccessible, they try very hard to serve us and I (honestly)
did not mean for it to read that way. I meant to lament the fact that the 
only thought I had about the mid-year meeting before it took place was "The 
board is working hard, having a meeting in the middle of the busy ride 
season."  It was the busy season in the mtn region anyway. But if I had 
known about some of the things they were going to vote on in advance, I 
would have been making the phone company very happy making sure that my 
regional directors, as well as all the directors at large knew how I felt 
about those things. Since I cant take back the earlier e-mail I feel I must
follow Angie's example and suspend myself from ridecamp for a few weeks while 
I think about how to write more correct (rather than hot-headed) e-mails.
