• Please refrain from posting multiple messages containing the same content on people's personal pages. Some may consider this unneccessary "spam" and the best way to reach out to a large number of GEC members is to post in the discussion forum. 

• If you do leave a message for a particular member, make sure it has a legitimate purpose and it is recommended that you personalize a message for that member as opposed to cutting and pasting a generic message. You may have more success with connecting with members if you reach out them this way. 

• Finally, if you post to your personal page's status message box, very few people will probably see this posting. Your best best if you have a specific request of the GEC membership is to post to the discussion forum as well.
