[Wamvan] Meeting tomorrow

[Natalie Hill]

Wow. I'm really sorry everyone. I realize this is not the first time I have
mixed up the WAM! listserv and the smaller organizing group email list.  I
guess I must just be so eager to move forward with our conference plans!

I realize listserv spamming is a serious problem - I'm terribly sorry if i
have caused any confusion.

Again.... so sorry.
