Kim, this is the first time I've needed to get something done involving
the national Mensa structure, so please forgive any naiveté I'm
displaying.  But I'm in the business of getting things done, and getting
them done right.


I will try to enlighten your misunderstanding:

I am at this moment looking at the back cover page of the July 2002
Mensagenda.  Judy Hogan is identified as "Past LocSec" which does not
confer on her any special authority to request anything regarding
websites (unless she requests it of *me* of course, as she occasionally
does).

She *is* a member of the Board that appointed me Webmaster (also shown
on the same current back cover), a position which DOES carry authority
to make requests regarding websites.

Judy is also Chair for the next Annual Gathering.  So she does the AG
stuff; I do the website stuff.

Got it?

As the Board-appointed Minnesota Mensa Webmaster, I am again formally
requesting that any and all redirects, links, or references to AG2003 be
made to http://www.mnmensa.org/ag2003/.

DO IT. It's your job, to accommodate legitimate requests from duly
authorized Mensa Webmasters.

"If you have any questions on this I would recommend" that you DO IT
ANYWAY. IT'S YOUR JOB.

Should you be foolish and non-Mensan enough to link the American Mensa
website to a personal, non-Mensa-owned, prototype, .COM website with
pages containing gross spelling errors, bad links, and other things that
could bring Mensa into disrepute and ridicule, (and possibly jeopardize
our non-profit status) you can expect negative consequences for sure.

So don't argue, don't stall, don't whine. DO YOUR JOB.


If this bothers you, fine -- perhaps you're new at this, so it's a
learning experience.  First, do your job as requested.  Second, feel
free to discuss this with any of the "higher-ups" at your end.  Anyone
with questions or concerns can certainly contact me directly if they
want to discuss things with me.

(Otherwise, of course, if you screw this one up, I'll be wanting to
discuss things with *them*!)

Thank you.
