Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: ISO feedback about HubSpot

[Susan L Hedgpeth (hedgpeth]

Hi Anne,
Thanks for your message.
It sounds great!
A question:  I've heard that HubSpot doesn't work well with contact email
addresses other than gmail (such as yahoo.com or others).  Have you run
into that problem?

As the election approaches, here’s something to think about and maybe share
with others in your life.  To anyone who is considering sitting out the
election or voting for a 3rd party, here is a perspective that might
resonate with you.  Our vote is not a vote of confidence in a current or
prospective leader who is making decisions we disagree with.  Rather, our
vote is to try to create the conditions where we can actually fight to make
a better world.  We won't be able to do that if Trump wins.
