REPLY Please Capitalize System Dynamics (SD6351)

Over the last week there have been many interesting comments about  
whether the words "system dynamics" should be capitalized, and a few 
 comments supporting the real purpose of my post on this issue,  
 capitalizing the field of system dynamics.

I'd like to endorse Carl Betterton's suggestion that folks involved  
in the field and on this list help us celebrate the 50th anniversary  
of the field by making a voluntary donation to the System Dynamics  
Society.  No votes or policy decisions are needed; any individual can  
contribute whatever they desire.  The society does a great job now  
providing services to the members, supporting a wide range of  
chapters and SIGS, and running wonderful conferences.  We could do  
much more with your support.  Any amount is most welcome; as a non- 
profit organization, any donations are US tax deductible (check with  
your accountant for the regulations for other nations).

Roberta Spencer informs me that donations can be made by check made  
out to the System Dynamics Society (US dollars drawn on a US bank),  
credit card or wire transfer. The Society mailing address is:

Roberta Spencer, Exec Dir
System Dynamics Society
Milne 300-Rockefeller College
University at Albany
Albany, NY 12222

For more information please contact Roberta at the Society office:
email address: system.dynamics at albany.edu
phone: 1 518 442-3865

We thank you all for your participation in the list and in moving the  
field of _ystem _ynamics forward (insert SD or sd per your personal  
preference).
