[RTC List] [RTC Board] We Made It!

[Gregg Foster]

I would have to say that I consider social networking a form of business...
It is the result of social networking that I've gotten every job I've ever
had and most of the major initiatives I've worked recently have started with
a conversation in a supposed "social" situation.  

Given that it seem that the volume is so low on this list, I can't see that
two lists is necessary.

Just my 2 cents...

Pat,

While I wouldn't disagree in theory, I think that in practice the RTC
represents - like, say, Rotary and other similar groups - a mixture of
business information and "networking" (of both a "business" and "social"
kind) among members that is intertwined.  And in reality it is an
extremely low-volume list.  So I'm not sure about how practical it would
be to enforce such a distinction, or even how healthy for the
organization as it has traditionally existed.

But I appreciate your point of view and maybe others will chime in
either on the list or directly to the Board, so that we can consider
possible improvements.

John

I believe the point James is making is that he would prefer to receive
only business-related communications via this listserv. I happen to
agree with him. Perhaps RTC could consider establishing two lists, one
for communications related to RTC business and one for social
networking.

Tim and Rhonda,

Welcome to Humboldt County and apologies on behalf of the list.  We do
try to keep a friendly and welcoming atmosphere at the RTC; that's one
reason why our monthly meetings are open to the public and we discuss a
wide range of technical topics.  This list is open to all members and
the discussion can be as wide-ranging as our membership.

James,

We're all adults on this list.  If you want to be removed you can simply
go to the URI shown on the bottom of every list message and remove
yourself.

Thanks,

John

Not so sound negative, but I don't care.  I get enough span and I
thought RTC was for business communications NOT this kind of junk mail.
Please stop sending me this type of mail.  If it is not business
related, take me out of your data base.

Thanks

Greetings, all.

We finally made it!  We arrived last Sunday and have been busy obtaining
and loading our stuff into storage, settling into the KOA and preparing
for my quickly approaching job interview.  We are thrilled to be here. 
Everyone has been so nice to us and we really feel at home.

We had a heckuva time getting here, though.  Winter storms, engine
trouble, wind storms, and as if fate tried one last time to keep us out,
the windshield wipers quit late Saturday night as we wound our way
through the hills near Garberville and had to stop for the night.  That
was hard, being so close to the Promised Land.  But we persevered and
finally made it.

Thanks to everyone who offered advice.  It was very helpful when
deciding where to  stay, which services to choose, etc.  We look forward
to meeting all of you  at future RTC meetings.

Tim & Rhonda Mueller
