It was posted today that the last member count was 2880, so 47.7+%  
voted.  And then there were those incorrect and blank ballots that  
were returned, too.  Why would anybody return a blank ballot?   Making  
a statement that will never be heard?


I wonder how many bother to open the Alerts that are sent out by GSDCA  
(Tish, The BOG, Updates, etc.)


  I know when I sent out the CaRPOC newsletter, approximately 60% of  
the recipients OPEN the newsletter (yes, you can find out how many and  
who:-).  That is very successful for a NPO (Industry standard).  Most  
NPO newsletters or "alerts" fall in the 30-33% open rate.  I try to  
figure why people subscribe to something, then don't open it, but  
that's beyond me.
In "my" case, hundreds of the newsletters get forwarded from the  
original subscriber, so I am thrilled with that and just leave it  
alone.  <VBG>
