[Linganth] SLA at AAA

[P. Kerim Friedman]

As a paying member of the SLA, why am I not on this list, and how come
I didn't even know about it? How many people are on it? Why isn't this
discussion happening on linganth, as there are many graduate students
who have a vested interest in the SLA but may not be able to afford the
annual membership due to limited funds? Sorry if I sound upset, I'm a
little stressed out right now with other stuff and this came as a bit
of a shock.
