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

[Pat Bitton]

This whole exchange seems to be getting unnecessarily "airiated" as we say
in England. I believe that the only point James (and I - in my offlist
comment below) made was that we view the RTC listserv as a business
communications medium rather than a vehicle for social conversations. 

However, since it appears that we are in a minority, I guess I will just
continue to hit the delete button when non-business-related RTC
communications land in my inbox. Unless there's a silent majority lurking
out there that isn't speaking up because it's afraid it'll get jumped on :-)

I thought that James' comment was extremely rude and unnecessary.    I
also get spammed, but I use my delete button, I don't lash out.   What a
way to welcome someone to our community....    Bah humbug!

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.

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
