That's it!! I want the Review in Spanish!! * Ileana * Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead In a message dated 2/19/2012 7:34:08 P.M.

I'm all for inclusion, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying for 99% of our membership, (there are always exclusions) if someone really wants the information, if it is THAT important to them, they will find a way to get it.

Some have cataracts, macular degeneration, and/or Sicca syndrome; some have conditions of aging that do not allow them to type or perform other tasks that require coordination, etc. I wonder how many membership cards Dania had to mail via USPS. I hope and pray that you never suffer any handicap or condition that prevents you from being "Thoroughly Modern Cyndy!" Good luck!!

Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:42:28 -0600 I'm sorry, but I tire of hearing that people who do not use email are disenfranchised. Computer communications have been a fact of life for 15 years now and, at this point, it's a personal option to not use email, not a hardship. Even those who cannot afford a computer or phone can access computers at their local library. There are plenty of free classes and individuals out there willing to teach someone to use email and a browser. In fact, I will venture to say if you know someone in the parent club who is not tech savvy but willing to learn, I will find resources in their area to show them how to set up and check and read email. :) I don't buy the disenfranchisement argument. Sorry. Cyndy -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paula M.
