And Dennis responds
:
:FYI - January 1996 Bulletin had 116 pages of which 8 were minutes.
:That's less than 10%.
What I'm talking about is not the portion of the Bulletin occupied
by the *minutes* themselves, but the overall ratio of iris stuff to
club stuff. There's lots of other AIS business in the Bulletin too.
Summarizing the minutes down to one page is one way to keep the
publication from being overloaded with business at the expense of
iris information. It's not the only way.
Was the other 90% of the January 1996 Bulletin "solid iris information"?
(It's a rhetorical question. ;) )
Cheers, Tom.
