[FROM ADMIN] INTRODUCING A NEW VNSA ADMIN / MISC

Subject: INTRODUCING A NEW VNSA ADMIN

Dear friends,

Within three months since its birth, VNSA has grown into one of the major
Internet forums serving the Vietnamese community abroad. This rapid growth
is welcomed by all of us, but at the same time makes the administrative
tasks handled by the three VNSA admins become ever more difficult and
time-comsuming.

It is obvious that in order to maintain and improve on the forum quality,
we need to expand the admin board. Towards this end, we the admins have
been searching around for new admins, and we are now happy to announce
that we have found the ideal forth admin in the person of Anh Vu~
Ho^`ng La^m (vuh000@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de), an active member of VNSA.

Anh La^m was a DHS in Hungary during the period 1986-1990s.  He is
handsome, athletic, and still single. [Hai: He exerted his newfound admin
power to force me to put the above sentence in.] He is now studying
towards a M.A. degree in political science in Germany. He plans to go on
to obtain a Ph.D. degree, and later to work on Vietnam-related topics. Anh
La^m has been with VNSA since its start, and has been a very active
contributor of VNSA, both publicly and privately.  Without him, VNSA could
not have been as strong as it is today. 

Anh La^m shared our vision about VNSA as a friendly, open,
information-rich, intellectually challenging, and entertaining gathering
place for Vietnamese DHS/NCS.  He also shares with us new, original ideas
that we believe will make VNSA become an even more exciting, entertaining,
and informative forum.  We thus are very happy and grateful that he has
agreed to join our admin board, and to shoulder a part of our burdensome
admin work.

So, effective immediately, Anh La^m will be one of the four admins of
VNSA, with all the admin power and responsibilities. His e-mail address is
vuh000@goofy.zdv.Uni-Mainz.de, in case you want to send him comments,
support e-mails, requests, etc.  Admin power is little, and his/her
responsibilities toward the forum and its members is enourmous. So please
welcome Anh La^m and support him, as well as us, in our joint effort to
build, maintain, and improve our common house: VNSA.

Thank you for your time and support.
VNSA Admins.

Subject: FUTURE ADMIN MESSAGES MIGHT BE IN EITHER ENGLISH OR VIETNAMESE

Dear friends,

Taking into consideration the fact that some VNSA members might not
be fluent in English, and that some subtle points can be better conveyed
in Vietnamese than in English, we have revised VNSA policy to allow
writing admin message in Vietnamese. Of course, important admin messages
will be written such that all VNSA members can read and understand.
If you have trouble understanding an admin message, please send us
private e-mail for a clarification.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
VNSA Admins.
