Keith,

When you speak to Ashleigh, would you ask him, when he wants to "broadcast" an announcement on the message boards that he not just start cutting and pasting it on all 33 sites, but that he submit it to me first for approval. Ashleigh has a bad habit of posting what "he" views as important in Virginia or the Petersburg area on sites, for which, his messages are off-topic. You might also ask Ashleigh, not just to use the sites for his announcements, but to participate or contribute to the discussions.

Recently Ashleigh posted a message about a veteran from a modern war who was being recognized at an event in Petersburg. Though I am a strong supporter and was emotionally effected by this man's sacrifices, it was not an appropriate posting for these message boards.

I wish Ashleigh well in his efforts, I just wish he would extend me the courtesy of contacting me, if he'd like to make an announcement on ALL of the message boards. I will do what I can to accommodate him.

Jim
