Last night in my haste and excitement to email the inaugural issue of The Growl, I forgot one of the cardinal rules of emailing large groups of people...Don't reveal email addresses!

This was not intentional. Part of the reason I took on the publication of the newsletter is because of previous experience publishing a newsletter for the Tongbaek Rotary Club in Pusan, Korea and our local stamp club here in Grand Rapids. That was prior to the days of mass emailing and the newsletters were paper publications mailed to our members.

Please do not email or pm Bear with any complaints as I bear sole responsibility for this error.

I will make sure that for our next mass emailing it does not happen again and I apologize if I have angered any of our members.

You know, I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it! I can understand, I've had to send several emails over the years to our NPO coworkers about using BCC. It's easy to forget when you're in a hurry.

I actually wonder if it would be better not to post a public apology, but only to the bears who PMed/emailed about it. A public apologizy, while very responsible of you, might actually attract more attention. I'm not trying to cover up anything, just being practical about it -- speaking as one who has had to deal with this matter at my NPO several times.

Anyway, still very very appreciative of all the hard work you put into the inaugural newsletter!

khj makes a good point. I hadn't noticed it either. But no matter what, it was an innocent, honest oversight. I hope that people will just let this go. If this is the worst mistake any of us makes this week, well, bless them.

Darkormex should get at least 10 lashes with a wet noodle.

Darrin don't sweat it. I would guess only a few members would have ever caught it.

I like stamps for the thrills, chills, screams, and laughs.

Greetings Mr. darkormex
.
No apology is necessary, Mr. darkormex.
.
Thank you for providing all those email addresses. Now I am going to be wealthy, I say wealthy. I forward all these emails to a feller from Nigeria that I met on the ~~entertainmentnet~~ internet after he offered tons of money for them. As soon as that check arrives in the mail that he promised me I am going to be rich, Rich, RICH!
.
Respectfully,

Gordon Lee

Ha ha ha!

No worries Darrin! At least it gave Mr. Gordon Lee the opportunity to do this joke which I found quite funny!

Good luck with that whole "tons of money" thing...It was all part of our master plan. My Nigerian partner and I meet up in Lagos next week to divvy up the funds....
