Phil,
cc: listserve subscribers

You must of missed Lori's apology posted to this listserve. I saw it. The title of the message was " I am sorry I goofed". It was dated the 30th. Her message said. - I’m sorry I meant to email to Deb Neustadt privately and got the wrong email address. I know this is not a political forum and I apologize for any inconvenience. Cheers, Lori

It was a mistake and one that was caught and apologized for. Many people don't realize that when a message is posted to a Sierra Club listserv(e) by a sender they can't reply to only the sender. The reply message is posted to the listserve. It happens. It happens on the Iowa Topics listserve because there are many people on this listserve that are not on any other Sierra Club listserve.Through the years there have been several cases. It happened once when a father son combination were on the listserve. I happen to be on many many Sierra Club listserves and others set up by other environemental organizations so I am use to not replying to the listserve even when I want to communicate with the individual that posted a message.

Lori's apology was consistant with the string of email messages. She later emailed me privately. The message posted to the listserve was not meant to be a broadcast message. Since she is on the listserve, she probably saw my name in the sender portion of her inbox and hit reply instead of making a new message.

I have not seen you since the JJ dinner. I hope your job with the Dean campaign is going well.

Not only do I object to seeing these messages here because I support Howard Dean for President, but this is a flagrant violation of the intended use of the Iowa Sierra Club Listserve and probably violates Sierra Club rules as well as Federal Campaign Law.
Take your discussions off this list!!!

Hi Deb,



Was wondering if I could ask you if you’d make a few calls for us tonight to women who are already supporters of John Kerry’s? We’ve mailed them a packet (you should have gotten it too) that asks them to Get 5 others to go to the Caucus for John Kerry. I could email you a list of 20-30 women inDes Moines. These are short calls because the women are already onboard and they’re very friendly calls. Please let me know if you have time to help me out?



Thank you,

Lori
