[JR: Safe For Work. 45 seconds! ROFL. Maybe this is what the Pope was thinking about! Just makes an old injineer laugh! Sorry for the interruption. We'll now return to our regularly scheduled Jasper news. (I still think it's exceptional!)]

A question came up about using Jasper Jottings to contact folks mentioned in Jasper Jottings. Seem appropriate to review the “rules of engagement”.
(1) When I report stories, they have to have “community value”. That’s very loosely defined. However, “medical advice” is reviewed by our “medical staff”; “legal advice” by our “legal staff”; and “suitability” by our “taste” committee. All ties are decided by my wife. (Hasn’t been any yet! She thinks I’m nuts any way. This just proves it.)
(2) When I report, if I have an email address for some one I use parenthesis around their Class Year. If not, I use brackets.
(3) When someone contacts me seeking to connect with another alum, I reply to their requesting email while putting the sought after person as a “blind carbon copy”. I usually include a message like: “I have received your request. By BCC, I am giving ‘old so and so’, your contact information. If he/she chooses to respond, you’ll hear from them.” That’s the end of my involvement.
(4) In offering folks ‘Jasper Jottings’, I promise not to share email or phone numbers. I don’t spam them, or sell stuff to them.
I’ve helped link ex-wives, lost kids, old girl friends, old drinking buddies. Never had any complaints because I just pass along the info and let folks act on it.
Soooo, if you share your email address with me or that of a fellow alum, then be assured I don’t give them out.
On occasions, I’ve even usmailed messages to folks that I thought they’d want. But that’s pretty rare.
P.S., If someone is unhappy with Yahoo’s reliability, then they can donate a Constant Contact subscription. This is a near-zero budget operation.
