Hmmmmm.... ahhhmmmm... yes!  There is, indeed, an open position for Club 100
Librarian.  Are you interested? ...like perhaps you're not, right? (grin)
Okay, then I'd better do this right.

I feel it is best if I say the following; up-front.  It's important that,
regardless of what else I say, or my feelings about you ... which are very
high, indeed ... it is best to start out on the right foot.

Robert Benson had some very special access on this BBS because he proved his
trust to me over the years.  He is no longer available, thus he and his access
are lng gone.  Today, only myself and Tracy Allen have operating system access.
As you know, that level of access comes with a price ... a very high level of
liability and responsibility.

Being, as you know, a professional information systems manager and educator,
former member of ASM and DPMA, I have really big concerns about granting
operating system access to anyone, even my best friends.  To be able to
function as Library Manager, you would need operating system access.  Are you
willing to carry the liability and responsibility for this systems' integretary
and its customers privacy as well?  And, will you submit a signed letter to
that effect for my records?  If yes, do it now.

I am well awair that you have such management responsibility where you work,
that you are a technical author, and I have seen your quality-level committment
to fellow Club 100 members over time.  On these issues, I am totally sold on
you and your abilities.  I believe you would make a great library manager ...
an asset to all concerned.  I would be honored to grant you the necessary
access and work with you towards building our library evern further ... as the
best!  -Rick-
