Right, MLS packages up its data and uses Afaria to transmit/receive it, no?

By the way, it's been one of my pet peeves since I started using MLS, but I
was wondering if I was the only one that thought that locking MLS and
preventing any further action during transmission was a poor design idea on
their part?

Personally, I don't see why they can't take a "snapshot" of the data and
send that.  This would allow a person to transmit and still be able to pull
up that set of Primary Roles that all the sudden someone wanted.  Even
read-only access so that no data is updated until transmission is over would
be a big step in the right direction.

Also, as finance clerk, I'm pretty good at making sure I transmit my changes
to SLC.  However, it often annoys me that instead of taking just a short
time to transmit my finances, I get a lot of membership updates, and have to
print out all those reports.  Sometimes I really wish that if a finance guy
transmits, only the finances are dealt with.  Likewise for membership I'm
sure.  (Although I doubt he ever gets finance reports)

My apologies for the tirade.  It's just something that has always bothered
me, and I can't explain why.
