[HCoop-Discuss] Misconcenptions about the deposit requirement

[j.c.hallgren at juno.com]

I was thinking along the lines that an occasional phone call attempt to members who are not replying to emails wouldn't take much more time than an online equivalant, and wouldn't cost much, mostly maybe less than $1...and in some cases, it may be similiar time or less...yes, a postal reply would take more time, but my other premise for asking for that was to provide at least enough info to track/locate user if needed other than some online ID and email.
And maybe it's cause I sometimes call dozens of people per day to rent my cottages that I prefer the phone...plus my typing speed isn't that great!

My personal comfort levels of volunteer-dom preclude phone calls or 
postal mailings. Maybe someone else would be willing to contact members 
via these methods. This certainly seems a lot more likely to be 
something that paid staff members would do, given that it's almost 100% unrewarding drudge work.
