Wow. Man oh man oh man.....You finally take a week's vacation and go camping and there's a moderate kerfuffle in the group. And the distinct odor of umbrage.
In the words of many barkeeps for a multitude of generations: "Gentlemen, PLEASE!" I'll paraphrase a point I've made before - in the written word, smiles and head nods don't come through. So much of communication is non-verbal, and when we distill it into a written format, it increases the opportunity for things to be taken the wrong way, even under the most mundane circumstances. Though we've grown in number, it does seem that most active posters in this group have maintained the core element of what makes this a good resource - " a respectful, supportive and polite tone in all posts." Now, I realize that this is a deceptively simple concept, but it also is the only tenet (other than topic-specificness...) which I do feel needs to be spelled out in the structure of this group. It worked in the past, it generally works on a day to day basis and it should work in the future. Accusations have no place on this list. Nor does name calling. One of the reasons this group was created is to provide a venue to ask and receive advice. Each of us is autonomous enough to act on advice we find helpful, and discard that which is not. Nobody's trying to fool anyone here, and all we have is our own experiences. So, let's all move on. I'm locking this thread down. - Jim / List Admin cyclofiend.com / cyclofi...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
