OK. You see how promptly I replied. Consider this the "nudge" I scheduled a 
couple weeks ago.

Not a problem. You're a volunteer, and that means Real Life takes priority.

I was once a member of a volunteer organization that started treating 
volunteers like low-level employees. The resultant implosion was both 
spectacular and painful, and I want to be no part of doing that to anyone else.

Thank you for doing the vital gatekeeping job you do. I will queue another 
nudge for a couple weeks, though in the event it may wait until after 
Christmas. Or New Year's. Or even Twelfth Night.

Thanks,
Tom
