wow. I didn't think there was any slam meant in his message, just
that there are alot of people on this list who don't attend meetings (I
always attempt to attend the meetings, but I should make more.), just
subscribe to this mail list, to help answer questions if they can, get
there questions answered, ect. I believe there are several people who
check this list who don't even live in the area. There's one guy
with a .au email address. I don't think he's gonna fly 12 hours to attend.
I think the intent was just to get the guys who attend regulary and who
benefit most from the meetings to say what they want to learn about.
<BR> I've found this group to be very helpfull, personable and
polite. The people on here are always more than willing to help
if they can. The email list had usually been very professional, with
a few exceptions. <BR><BR>Just my $.02.<BR><BR>Justin<BR><BR>Ronald Maggio

am not taking the floor<BR>> from anyone! I also think your remarks
about my not being able to come<BR>> to the meeting is way out of line!
As you stated (No offense to those<BR>> that couldn't make it) Well if
there is no offense then why did you read<BR>> my post and climb all
over it. That is the main reason why people do not<BR>> want to
particpate with clubs because everytime someone offers input<BR>> they
are shot down and tolled that their steping on toes. You could
have<BR>> offered postive input like say thats a good idea. Oh and by
the way<BR>> wasn't it nice of Pete to offer a subject for the next
meeting, and we<BR>> should get the group to talk about subjects for
future meetings. Alas,<BR>> no. You assumed I did not read the post and
shot down what I had to say.<BR>> Well thanks dude. This is the main
reason why people came to meetings<BR>> and did not show up again for
others. Attitude makes either a good<BR>> impression or a bad one. We
are here to help each other, its called<BR>> networking. (pardon the
pun) I realize your our host, but we are a<BR>> collective group of
individuals networking together to learn. Need I say<BR>>

Handouts need only be one or so pages of quick tips, steps, or<BR>>>
notes, to refer back to when trying it on ones own. I will be
