WAS - KFactor Now "Members" Forum?

[Larry Diamond]

The only problem I see with this list is sometimes two, three, or more folks
get into a heated debate and then it gets personal...

Wonder how many people signed on and the e-mails I'm referring to is the
first thing they see about Pattern? Nobody even knows that some one is
viewing in the background (not that it even matters)

It would not be difficult to draw a conclusion that Pattern Folks are stuck
up and not friendly based on those e-mails, thus turning them away to start
another phase of the, "bad reputation for pattern".

Food for thought...

Otherwise I like the discussion list, been a NSRCA member for a couple of
years, never logged an official flight in a contest, and believe that the
Paper-Copy K-Factor is needed to grow...

Interesting numbers. It seems some believe this forum is the most
favored.

You are absolutely right Rick. The only people who frequented the forum
before were us digit heads. If  I created another, it would be a much
simpler format than the one we referenced. I just used it for the poll.
(I
already own it!) This one is neat but to darned hard to get around for
most
part.

I don't think it's  anything we will have to be concerned about. So far
eight out of eleven said they would use it. I don't look for much
improvement in the vote when you know how many are on this list. (399 at
this moment)

Later,
Ed
