[TriLUG] how to contact SC?

[Dave Sorenson]

Much as I hate to admit it, Tanner is right. Why have a special e-mail 
address if members/ non members can't use it? It is a bit much to ask 
people to track down personal e-mail addresses of the members of the 
steering committee seeing as how those people do change over time. You 
wouldn't ask that clients try to find the personal e-mail of your sales 
guy even though you have a "sales at myco.com" address set up would you?
