So it looks like we are having some trouble again with the e-mail
protocol. As I understand it, if someone asks a question, you are to
respond only to that person and not everyone else on the list. The
person asking the question will summarize responses and when complete
send out a summary to the entire group. Every day I receive numerous
e-mails which are responses people are sending to the person who made
the request but they are also sending this response to everyone else.
This leads to receiving many more e-mails each day than necessary.
The only "fault" with this vendor supplying a response was that it
was sent to everyone instead of to just the person making the request.
I think it is fine vendors respond when requested, but only respond
to the person making the request. EVERYONE ON THIS LIST SHOULD CHECK
THEIR COMPUTER SETTINGS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY RESPONDING TO THE
PERSON MAKING THE INQUIRY AND NOT RESPONDING TO EVERYONE IN THE GROUP

Subject: re[2]: [CSMFO Members] 401A Plans
John,
I really did not mean to offend you or anyone else in CSMFO with my
response to Claudia's inquiry as to which cities have done 401(a)
plans and who the vendor and contacts are. I was pretty excited to
have something to contribute to the discussion, and I clearly offended
you with my response.
We read CSMFO and other professional association mail and journals
every day in an effort to stay abreast of the issues that stand in the
way of efficient, effective management of California public agencies.
PARS offers creative solutions to some of those challenges. Please
excuse my burst of enthusiasm. We generally do respond individually
to relevant inquiries and issues. I got carried away and I
apologize.
