Re: [amsat-bb] AMSAT Critical Election
I wonder why some members have a major problem getting unsolicited emails possibly obtained from QRZ or other from a prospective candidate(s), but don't blow up when another group representing incumbents use QRZ or other to get addresses to send out unsolicited preprinted mail?

Also, when others last year did the same thing it was referred to as "buying the election."

I paid off the postal service for a stamp, so that I could cast my vote for:
Hammond, Paige, Stoetzer
Personally, I am not opposed to receiving email, snail-mail, or any other kind of information from candidates. With so much junk-mail coming in, it's nice to receive something that I Want to read. Being able to cross-reference public datasets to contact individuals is just life...

Steve, The mailing list is provided to candidates, email addresses are not. Everyone has to determine *on their own* whether or not the correlation of the mailing list to email addresses scraped out of QRZ to be legitimate. The mailing is provided by the bylaws of AMSAT as per the election process, and has been for years! If that needs to be changed, bring it up in a formal manner. A list of whatever you are agreeing to when joining AMSAT should be made available to the membership. Then if an opt-out process is adopted, people should be able to opt-out. It will save postage. Seems reasonable, but also creates work for volunteers that doesn't seem to be related to building and launching satellites, other than saving a few stamps.
