Another term for "progress". Nothing new, been going on since before the first guy figured out flintknapping , or fire-making.

Of course, everyone has to decide for themselves what is progress.

For the record, I think the requirement for any specific club officer to have e-mail is a bit heavy handed. I know a lot of middle-aged people without computers. It would be easy to get the guy one, cheap or even free, but then he has to pay for internet service. Just wrong, IMO.
