Re: Annual Taylorcraft Foundation Renewal for 2009
Hear Hear, maybe Hank is on to something. I am a long way from computer literate but I am on here at least once once a day and sometimes several times a day. I see little bumps that I can not fix, but I can flag them. Having met Forrest I know him to be a gentleman I can like and get along with; but I see the ball dropped, here on line, a lot. With my little free time I know I could do some good if we have/had a way to integrate all this. We probably need a conference call to debate all this but I have no problem calling in on my nickel to help make this happen. I know that I can express (and receive) more in person, verbally, in 5 minutes then I can in a half an hour by email. I would volunteer to put this conference call together if it would help, or maybe we put together an informal meeting at Oshkosh to hammer out some of the minor details.
I feel we need to use available current technologies while keeping all the goody from the old world, like camaraderie, honesty, and most importantly not scaring/driving away those away who are not comfortable with all this techie stuff.
Believe me I do not take anything away from the current moderators, they put in more time then we realize, but I have been here 3 years, paid my dues, and been told by Forrest that I must put my "nonexistent" foundation number in the subject line if I want a response from him. I can appreciate his position, and do not think his request to be out of line, but I think he needs a bit of help.
I am a member of several chat groups and most do not come close to being as useful as this one!
