I have to agree with Neal on this one...
Yes, I agree with Fuzz that it is possible to look up chapter/school
names, however some of us are interested and do not have the time or
resources to do this (especially at the rate that Netscape loads on
my officemates computer...) I also agree that it is not always
necessary to include your chapter affiliations. I think that it is
easier to remember who says what on APO-L if these are included (hey,
all of you look exactly the same over the computer!)
What about updating the list guidelines to include using both chapter
and school names if you want to list one of them? That would
eliminate the need for sending something out periodically to remind
people. Also, I think that it is simply a courtesy that we should
show our fellow brothers.
Just my $.02
