Hey all - As I mentioned in the State of the List Report, I have a work project which is taking a significant amount of time and energy right now. Thought I've been able to track and comment on a few posts as a list member, I really hadn't been going through all the postings with my admin hat on.
This may be a little blunt, as I need to get out the door (to work, rather than what is shaping up to be one of the most gorgeous days in memory on which the Lighthouse 200K was run...grrrr....) I appreciate that everyone kept a respectful tone during the OT threads which cropped up in the past week. That speaks a great deal about the people in this group who are committed to one of the core principles. But, I will ask people to remember that OT threads are OT. The topic of discussion within this group is defined on the main group page: "Dedicated to the discussion of Rivendell Bicycles and products, you don't need to own one - just an interest in RBW designs is enough to join in. Ride reports encouraged, as is a respectful, supportive and polite tone in all posts. This group is not endorsed by Rivendell Bicycle Works." I'm in the habit of letting marginally OT threads exist, in the hopes that they will end of themselves. It always (or only, depending upon your perspective) takes two people to propogate such a discussion. So, I would ask that if you find yourself to be one of those people, please stop or take it to an off-list channel. I'm aware of how the discussions began and how it arched to where it ended, and honestly am pleased to see that they seem to have now been dropped. The strength of this group is a product of its focus and the quality of the information and responses. Hope everyone can have a great ride today! - Jim / list admin -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
