I got cranky earlier and zinged someone for asking a question that I've been typing the answer to for about 7 years now, and it really wasn't nice of me to do that, so here's my public apology for that public comment: I'm sorry I got snippy. Here's why that happened: 1. We have 500-700 people here at any given time. As I understand it, the number seems to hover pretty consistently at 600 or so. 2. We have a website that is monstorous and to die for if you own an old car that happens to be the right one for this place. I've been trying to point it out to folks for some time now, but it seems like there is at least one question per month from a well seasoned, "been here awhile" sort of person that just totally bypasses it, reading as if we're into Crosleys or Hupmobiles with no support besides the typed emails here. If you're deleting my posts (then you're not reading this one either...hey, it's a free country!), you might not see this between my lines, but my thing is that if you're new to the place, you're obviously going to not know as much as someone that's been around and should be cut some serious slack until you're up to speed, and I'm really OK with that. BUT: when you've been around and your email/name starts to get familiar after months or years, I would personally like to give you the benefit of the doubt that you're having an in-body experience and are hopefully reading at least "some" of the messages that I send out explaining the things that we're doing on the website. Everyone has a hobby, mine is working on my cars and also volunteering (along with many others) to do work on the club resources. Soooooo, when someone wrote in earlier asking if it was possible to post photos of their car to the website (it is), I rolled my eyes, thought about the collective 1:45 minutes I've spent writing messages about that topic over the years, and shot from the hip, explaining that no, we don't do that and are actually converting to an all Lincoln-Mercury Format. Ever notice that online humor really works better with photos and images than words? Well, I want to stop here before someone starts seriously sending photos of the Lincoln in the back yard, because nothing's really changed. I've been meaning to write in and go over some of the basics (and maybe not so basics) of the website as a reminder/introduction to what we're up to, so I guess that perhaps I should do that as pennance? The bottom line is that we are all united in a common interest, and the club exists to serve people's needs. I'll start fresh on a new message and get into that. For the person that wrote in earlier, I'd like to offer a free lifetime membership here and hope that there are no hard feelings. -Kenyon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
