Hi=2C
FWIW =20
1) I agree that it is important to know when someone signs on so that we c=
an welcome them to the list. =20
2) It is critical that we as a group are able to restrict abusers=2C elimin=
ate spammers=2C keep discussions "relatively" civil & focused on MG Zs or a=
t least British Cars - although I must admit some of the off topic conversa=
tions have been great fun :)
The actual administration of points 1 & 2 above is immaterial to me. As lo=
ng as the controls are in place to make the above happen I'll continue to b=
e a very happy member of the group. I personally think that Allen has done=
a remarkable and commendable job in handling the above issues and setting =
the correct "tone" for the group. Thanks for all your effort Allen!!
I've been sitting quietly on the sidelines as this discussion evolved until=
I read Steve T's email below. I would like to add that he brings up an ex=
tremely important point and I will reenforce this by telling you of my own =
experience. I first learned of the chat group when I read an article in S=
afety Fast last year. There was no mention of how to join the email list -=
only a brief mention that it existed. I had to track down the San Diego M=
G Club (also referenced in the article) to see if they could put me in touc=
h with Steve K. whose car was the focal point of the article. Luckily for =
me=2C the person I contacted at the San Diego MG Club responded immediately=
and Steve K. helped to get me set up on the chat list. Once again I than=
k you for your help Steve K. as I have enjoyed and benefitted from being on=
the list!
My point is=2C it shouldn't be that hard to find us and it shouldn't be tha=
t hard to join. I almost gave up trying which makes me think there are man=
y others out there who would enjoy being on this list if they knew about it=
and could sign up easily.
Thanks for listening=2C =20
