This is so very true, especially with older members who I describe as 'in the right hand lane of the information highway, driving slowly.' But in a historically-oriented group such as most of mine, these members are the very ones we want to hang onto most. They have the best remembrances and can tell some of the best stories.
This is good advice that should be framed and put on the wall where people can be constantly reminded of it.
