Dear Owen,

It was a suggestion (not a demand) which, I iterate,  does not have to be adopted.

Kindly suggests a means of ensuring that I, for example, do not go on twitter or to my ‘long’ list of friends and tell them to vote for candidate X or tell them to “+1” a reply on a certain topic. Yet they have no clue what is at stake. This practice is evident on the lists.


Regards,
Murungi Daniel

We should also follow up on the suggestion of always using email IDs associated with the member's organization as mentioned in previous posts (we could discuss this plus other alternatives on a separate thread).
