Don't Sweat The Small Stuff

We wonder if that is the new motto at TAMPOA HQ? For instance, has TAMPOA abandoned its practice of sending the quarterly newsletter by e-mail and reverted to just a paper newsletter. Also, it seems that TAMPOA has not bothered to put the newsletter on its web site, which, as of this post, has not been updated since the new Board members' names were hastily added after the election in January.

The newsletter was finished and sent out by mail on March 15, 2007 (with the quarterly bills), but as yet has not been added to the web site. If we wanted to think conspiratorially about these lapses in efficiency, we could believe that the lack of an e-mailed newsletter is an effort to prevent broad dissemination of information in the newsletter. Of course, we don't think that way, and even if there were such a lame idea afloat, it would be totally in effective to prevent an active discussion of what is going on within the Annex.

Since some in TAMPOA have suggested that there may be no need to send a paper newsletter as everyone has e-mail, we can only assume that TAMPOA has found (as we have) that this is not the case and has decided that paper will continue for the foreseeable future, even though it is considerably more expensive. Then again, when has TAMPOA ever really worried about saving money on the small stuff?
