But I have a question for Dr. Mekuria, too. Being an active OSA member and a subscriber to OSA listserv, I have never received "Dr Asfaw Beyene's letter of December 4, 2006" to which you referred. I also asked some OSA members (including one in the current OSA leadership) if they have received the said message. They told me, "NO." My question to you is: Was the letter sent to you personally? Or, are we excluded from receiving it? Were our e-mail addresses deleted from the list before sending the message and then re-instated after the message was gone? I appreciate your prompt response.

Nagaatti,
