Season's Greetings Everyone,
You expected to hear from me, right?
Thanks for the original question (Barbara Passman) and follow-up comments about how user groups can and do work with Apple Stores and other retailers. Every group does not have the same positive (or negative) experiences according to the replies that I have read. Perhaps we can all work a little harder towards earning or maintaining the respect of all retail establishments during the coming New Year. We earn or maintain respect by following the specific retailer's guidelines to the "T" and by not demanding special favors. It is true -- policies vary from store to store, so be certain to get "iffy" agreements in writing before proceeding. The last thing any of us want is legal upheaval which can be avoided by having a clear understanding of policy and by following said policy.
That said, there *are* retail personnel who read this email list and the last thing any of us would want to project to the masses is that there is dissention within any group. Sure, occasional quarrels arise in every group, but most internal strife is best kept...well, internal to the group. Please. Thanks for understanding and abiding by this rule.
Two more things...
1. Please remember to trim posts to which you are replying. It is rarely necessary to include an entire post in order for us to understand your response.
2. Please change the subject line to reflect the subject (re: AUGD, Vol 1, Issue 88 does not tell us much).
Finally, I find that when people are approached with a cooperative spirit, positive things can and do happen. This is important and works in most life experiences.
Warmest and best wishes to all of you during the upcoming holiday season and the New Year,
Trish
