That is the question!
I got a call from the home office yesterday asking me to please stop encouraging people to email the home office/staff, however I've gotten personal emails from my entire upline saying that other directors are emailing their opinions & the general feeling I get from those emails is that it's expected to let the home office know if you're in disagreement.
So... do what you want, they already know how *I* feel, so my job is done. ;)
 
I think you did an important thing brining us the facts. And, as far as being told not to tell anyone to email... Well, that's another one of those issues where you could get different answers from different people at HO.
 
What? I can't believe they actually asked you to stop!
