As much as I would like to see BSA have an email address, and as much as I
would criticize them as much as the next scouter, I have to stick up for
them in this regard.
Being directly involved in my company's email communication responses, I
know how much work is involved in keeping up with the flood of mail
resulting from a public address. We have three full-timers who do nothing
but answer email, and work their buns off trying to keep up with it all.
We've taken the attitude -- and a good one, I think -- that the only kind of
reply should be a timely one. Our average response time is about 2 days.
Wouldn't you be even more annoyed to send an email to an organization, and
receive a reply 4 weeks later (if at all)?
If BSA does open up an email address, I hope they do it properly and with
appropriate staffing for the job rather than frustrate potentially thousands
of emailers eagerly awaiting a response to their question.
Oh, and don't you think that ...
