Comments for Adventures of a Midwestern Girl in Sunny, Sunny California http://midwesterngirl.com Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:55:26 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 Comment on A Follow-Up on the SLA Proposed Name by Chris Orr http://midwesterngirl.com/2009/11/03/a-follow-up-on-the-sla-proposed-name/comment-page-1/#comment-113 Chris Orr Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:55:26 +0000 http://midwesterngirl.com/?p=178#comment-113 Thanks for the thoughtfulness of your posting and for all the SLA resources, especially re: Michael Fanning. I, too, was glad to hear from someone in Europe as well as to read his in-depth analysis. As for the timing of certain steps that SLA has taken, yes, some have been slow, even clueless (not posting the name research right away...why?!). However, I am glad for this month before the name voting so they could correct the gaps. I give HQ the benefit of the doubt and think they are being pretty responsive to requests for info. This process is SO much better than the last time even with an admitted learning curve. And the voting will truly be inclusive now that we can do it online starting Nov 16.

I used to, but they have changed a LOT and now I have to wade through a sinkhole of irrelevance to get anywhere) sounds like a fairly entertaining, yet disappointing speech?
