Re: YesWeScan & Aaron Swartz

[Susan Swartz <xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com>]

When I found the site yesterday, I sent it to him and asked why he wasn't on the committee and he replied that he had applied but never heard anything back which was basically his way of saying that he guessed that everyone else was considered more worthy than him.  Which is why I finally decided to say something to you.  That's how roundabout he is about these things.  Not only doesn't he come out and ask or speak up about them (for himself) but won't even admit to us that it bothers him.  We have to read between the lines (and it took me a day for the message to sink in).

Ahhh---Aaron!  A complicated kid.

thanks Carl,

Susan

He never does!  He's basically very shy, esp. when it comes to speaking up for himself.  Don't worry about it.

I'm glad I said something to you though; haven't concentrated enough on Aaron lately.

thanks again,

Susan

Seriously, Carl, Aaron applied to be on the Committee and, as you should know, he's pretty experienced at these things.  Plus he's friends and worked with Committee Memers Joi, Tim, Cory, Larry and Brewster (plus probably some others I don't know about).  His dad has worked quite a bit with Nicholas Negroponte.  Aaron did a lot of work for you already and  I'm sure you could find some use for him in your campaign.  Just between you and me, I know he's feeling a bit hurt at being left out.

thanks much and best of luck on such a worthy endeavor,
Susan
