New Business: It was reported that serveral people on the SBE Chapter 2 Email list did not receive notice of the December 17th meeting. The problem was tracked down to email spammers causing Robert Reite's hosting provider to get messages flagged as spam or blacklisted. Robert Reite plans to change to a provider that does not share the same Email IP address with other users when his current contract is up so this problem won't happen again, since it advesely affects his business as well as SBE Chapter 2. In the meantime, it was suggested that Robert provide Joe and Pete with a file of email addresses so that either Joe or Pete can email the list from their personal email addresses until the problem with the list server is resolved.
