This is one of the messages linda chapman sent to all ash members EXECPT Mike Ross. Why did linda chapman remove Mike Ross's name from the e-mail list? We will never know. Mike thinks it is because Linda Chapman doesn't like him and wants to exclude him from the atheist community.

For those of you who contributed the $715.00 necessary to put the ad in the telephone book (yellow pages). When you receive your books, it will not listed where I asked it to be placed -- under church organizations. Instead it was placed under "Religious Organizations" and instead of pages and pages of listings, there are about 1/2 pages of listings there.

How did this happen? I don't know. But the matter is being checked into and my complaint has been forwarded to the claims department. I have asked that ASH get's a free ad next year placed under the correct heading requested. We may not get anything. There seems to be conflicting stories as to how it got to be placed in religious organizations.

For those that contributed to this ad, please let me know what would be a satisfactory and fair "settlement" in regard to the placing of the ad. I would think that if we got a free ad next year in the correct category, that would suffice. But....I don't know if we will get anything. Lauri Molina will be talking with me tomorrow, and she, Brian Green, and I will be having a conference call. Laura Molina is the supervisor. I would like some input from those of you who contributed before any final decision is make.

Brian is saying that it was always his understanding that we would be placed in the Religious Organizations section. But I never mentioned that area and never even knew that such a category existed until I searched it out. I had discussed that our organization wished to be placed under church organizations because this was a huge category and we wanted the visibility. Does anybody have a copy of the e-mail I sent in November / December? If so, please sent it to me. It as the e-mail which I sent to everybody immediately after I talked to Brian. It told of the exact page where we would be placed, etc.
