Godwin Amegashie's email protesting Alex's posting concerning the arrival here of a new African family,is the most ridiculous piece of message I have ever seen in this site.
Although I would agree that Mr. Reed has a tendancy to sometimes post rambling messages that bear little or nor value in furthering the interest or the activities of AAM, we do not have the authority to restrict his right to express himself.
By the same token,to say that people intending to post certain messages have to inform Mr.Godwin or Mr. Weller is not only a form of censureship, it is the ultimate in bureaucratic red tape.
This is unacceptable.
Mr. Godwin has to understand that control in management is not necessarily synonimous with efficiency;on the contrary, it may actually stifle it.
I do understand that Mr. Godwin wants to try new things and institute management styles that will advance AAM's interest during his year of tenure, but this route may lead to more ristrictions and that cannot be tolerated one bit.
Furthermore, you may need to go back to the drawing board and re-draw the responsibilities of the Outreach Committee.I do not see any reason whatsoever why announcing the arrival of a new person to Madison has to go to any Committee before posting to site. Makes no sense to me. We are not going to allow censureship,unreasonable restrictions or oppressive controls of any kind...........................................None..nope  zipo..nada..hani..darah..rien. If I am blocked out by the site manager, this will only confirm what I am saying here.

Alex, there is a Chair of the Outreach committee. Please pas that
information to Dr. Weller or myself. You do not speak for the African
Association and your broadcast message is not appreciated. Pass the
information to the right person. You have no authority in the African
Association.
