So, basically, what you're saying is that if anyone wants to reach
the Steering Committee, they have to rely on someone
randomly checking the moderation queue.  I have a serious
problem with that.  What if you go on vacation or a business
trip?  What if it's something timely that the SC needs to know
(i.e. someone has hacked into the TriLUG servers and is spamming
the world)?  The steering at trilug.org e-mail address is there
for a reason.  It's the direct link between the membership
and the Steering Committee.  Any obstacle between that
is a problem.  Yes, I know it gets a lot of spam.  It did while
I was on the SC too.  You, however, seem to be using a gmail
account, and that does very good spam detection so I would
imagine that to be a red herring.

TriLUG is a membership organization.  The route between
the membership and the SC should not have roadblocks on it.
