There are many many things I love about DK 4, but one thing that falls short is the messaging system.
I have my suspicions that a lot of people either don't see or receive the kosmail messages that are sent. One of my friends sent me an message that when she tries to open my kosmail, she gets an error message (at least she can send!)
This past week I organized a meetup with Maryland/Virginia, and DC members of Kos. We were fortunate that we got a good turnout, but I suspect that some people were left out because the messages I sent to Maryland Kos and Virginia Kos didn't always get through.
The worst thing about kosmail is that you can only send to one person or group at a time. Allowing the option to send to more than one person or group is something that would facililtate get togethers and a feature I sincerely hope will be added to an updated version of Daily Kos.
Fortunately now that we've gotten together, we've traded emails and cell phone numbers, so we won't be left out of the loop for the next get together. So it's just new participants we need to connect with.
If you want to be part of future Maryland/Virginia/DC meetups, please send me a kosmail. And then check your messages to make sure I responded.
