Subject: Re: notice re locks, etc
From: Michael E. Rutkowski (michaelrut@firstpropertiesllc.com)

With regards to the posting of the minutes on the website (I posted this already
but am not sure if it "went through.") Please understand that someone in this
building pays out out their own pocket to have the sight hosted, and then
volunteers their time to maintain the sight.
You can't be upset because info is not posted in a timely manner. Instead, a
note of "thanks" for what is provided is appropriate. If you would like copies
of minutes, send me a request in writing, and I will galdly mail you copies.
Cheers,
MR
