an optional contact field would be nice. just in case someone who wants to make an event wants to give people a way to contact them for any further details. otherwise they don't have to fill it in. seems pretty simple to me.<br>

</div> � doesn't imply that to me. i'm a contact person for<br>
some things, but definitely not the leader. i've seen<br>
groups in action where leaders pop up out of the group<br>
at random points--i use the term "musical dictators"<br>
to describe the phenomenon: the more each person gets<br>
to be a leader for a little while, the better.<br>
� i still don't understand an objection to allowing<br>
an optional contact field. it seems handy for improved<br>
understanding of the event (in some cases) as well as<br>
the possibility of finding out more about the group<br>
or negotiating use of resources.<br>
