Hi Al,

I have one comment and two quick follow up questions:

<lotsa stuff snipped>

To the best of my knowledge, Mind Games never had a "special Web Site"
-- it didn't need one, as it was a official activity of Minnesota Mensa,
and so was properly part of the Minnesota Mensa website.

Ditto for Gatherings -- they get a special section within the MN Mensa
website; that's the best way to do it.

Ditto for Annual Gathering 2003, to my mind. It doesn't need a separate
website -- it's an official MN Mensa activity. (Although the
unfortunate way it's been set up, the tax boys might question that ...)

JEFF'S COMMENT:

Al, both Mind Games and the Annual Gathering are American Mensa (National)
events - official activities of American Mensa. Minnesota just plays party
host. The web sites are not necessarily affiliated with the local host
group. To be frank, if I would have had more time with Mind Games planning,
I may have requested a unique (non-MNMensa) site as well.

And there should STILL be one qualified Webmaster responsible to the
Board to evaluate it and certify that it meets our minimum standards for
representing MN Mensa on the web. (This ag2003.com thing doesn't, by a
wide margin.)

I do not believe my initial e-mail was off the wall in any way. I wrote
to give the national website the link to a relevant portion of the MN
Mensa website...

<more stuff snipped>

TO ALL -- The present purported "website" for AG 2003 is a debacle in so
many ways that I am working on a separate message to describe them all.
I'll try to finish it with tonight's midnight oil.

JEFF'S QUESTIONS:
Your comments re: www.ag2003.com <http://www.ag2003.com> and the relevant
portion of the MN Mensa site are interesting:

1) I notice that Jason's code is copied into your site (with some slight
modifications). Was Jason aware you did this?

2) Could you give me the "short list" of your critique of his site? No
midnight oil needed, just 10 minutes.

Thanks much,

Jeff Rowan
