I'm an Active (albeit a little overripe at turning 24 in March), and I
subscribe to those lists. For me, e-mail is easier than things like
FaceBook (less public, fewer things to check). However, I did have a
Residence Life full-timer tell me I'm in the minority checking e-mail
and phone messages (land line). It's faster than checking my cellphone
messages. I do have some ideas and will bring them up if asked, but it
is kind of late at this point (I worked on 31 over the summer, narrowing
it down to 3-6 from the 14 that need postponed until the board structure
is reset after this convention. I don't have an LJ (too much to check
and write). I do have a Xanga but only so I can write on others' accounts.
