FW: FW: War on Gas Pricing: Count Me In

[deFoure...@forces.gc.ca]

Looks like a good idea if it gets around. Get one to compete so the others have to follow.

It

prices.
>>>>>
>>>>>But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Petro

>>>>>keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions

>>>>>
>>>>>I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us sends it to at

>>>>>more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more
>>>>>(300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on,

>>>>>
>>>>>Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all. (If
>>>>>you don't understand how we

>>>>>
>>>>>How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to
>>>>>ten more people within one day
>>>>>of receipt, all 30 MILLION people could conceivably see this within

>>>>>
>>>>>Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you,

[CHRIS SCHERF]

Hello all,

I do not think that the OLMC mailing list should be used for sending this call to action to the membership. I feel this is an improper use of the mailing list and I ask that the sender and others refrain from the use of this mailing list in the future for these kinds of efforts. It should be for matters that concern the OLMC in it's area of interest and expertise.

Thank you,

Chris Scherf
