Fwd: NPS 'Data Mining'

[Michael Vincent]

Well, many of you think I am over-reacting, and maybe I am.  When I got the
first request, I sent back a response to Stephanie Slough in which I told
her our collection was not yet databased, and she replied with a request
for information on which parks were represented in our collection, even
though I had told her we were not yet databased.  That's when I started
feeling pressured to conform.

Maybe I should have just neglected to respond in the first place...
