Hi Dave,
In addition to what Sandy said, there is a statement for vendors who happen
upon the page...
http://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/
" Are You a Vendor?
If you are a vendor looking to offer special discounts to user groups, the
User Group Advisory Board may be able to help. Send an email to the vendor
relations representative. Be sure to include as much info as you can to help
get things started."
The link takes then to Tom Piper's Vendor Wizard email address.
What I do when this happens is to email the vendor, telling them the Apple
Locator is not a place to SPAM User Groups. I understand they are only
trying to offer as a deal on Mac related products but it is "unsolicited
email aka SPAM" all the same.
I tell them that after they work an excusive User Group discount directly
with Tom I will post the offer AFTER Tom posts it in the bulletin. And we
support Tom in his efforts to get us offers.
This way we all benefit from the discount and it is less work for the
vendors. And that way Tom is able to check to make sure it is the best deal
we can get.
Hope this helps
