Well hopefully the wrath of some members has died down by now, but in any case I have some news. The SNM will be updating its website in January and completely re-doing it. When I was complaining about the slowness of the site to keep up to date, the museum was in fact having difficulties with the site and the developer. Apparently it was intended to be better, but things went wrong somewhere. It's still behind schedule by many weeks, but it will be changing for the better. I did notice that it took until near the end of the first week of December for the picture of the old building to be replaced with the rendering (still not a real picture, mind you) of the new building.
Anyway, my threat/promise to try to join the ranks of the SNM board of trustees can't be fulfilled unless I move myself and my family to the South Bend area, since trustees must be present to vote and meetings are held in St. Joseph county.
I have offered to help in other ways, so we'll see what happens. It seems the same issues I complained about were valid and shared, in part, by the museum, but there were complicating factors apparently not completely under their control.
