Hi gang!

         Things have been getting a little chatty lately so I'm 

offering these reminders:



1. Please address the "Way to go's" and "I agree's" and "That's way 

cool's" and like non-informational responses directly instead of to 

the Kitfox list. That way it keeps things friendly while keeping the 

list "technical".



2. We've got some new people who haven't picked up on the signature. 

Please put your full name, location, and aircraft type / status in 

the signature so we can think of you as a human being instead of a 

handle. (At some time or other I hope to meet each and every one of you.)



3. Be careful to change the subject line when you change the subject. 

It really helps the archives and those who follow on the forum. (They 

usually use threading.)



4. Finally, please check out Matt's contribution page, 

(http://www.matronics.com/contribution/) and make a handsome 

contribution. Or just make a small contribution. Think of it as part 

of your annual. Think of it as part of the kit price. Please think of it.

This is just a casual response to your item #1. I think that those kind of 

responses are needed in a group. That does a lot for the bonding and support 

for each other, and that is what the group is supposed to be. Building  and 

technical support is not everything. There are times when a shoulder is nice 

to lean on. That is personal and friendship, not just tech. Once again, 

total tech will scare the new guys off. They need to have a place as do the 

technical guys. True, a lot of clutter is bad. I think that if it mostly 

Kitfox that is ok.

I support your motion, Albert. I think it should be allowed provided 

that the rest of the 'netiquette' is followed: Delete what is not 

informative in your reply; change the title if the subject has changed 

and add your profile at the end, together with 'do not archive.'



Cheers,

I am lost here (I am getting used to it).  First off you don't want any unnecessary "chatter" or friendly banter and for everyone to keep it "technical".. then you say you want names locations etc, so you can make it more personable...Oh and by the way send more money...  Cant have it both ways.  If it is to be kept totaly technical what difference does my name make?  If it is to be friendly, then why cant a person offer words of encouragement when one posts up "I got my first flight in today and I LOVE my new kitfox".. most would love to have a reply to that not just have the thread die with no follow up?



Dont have to agree, just tossing in my 10.00

I'm with Michel as well. I think it's great to read some of the responses.  But let's use the "do not archive" to keep them off the files. And changing the  subject line is better for finding info in the archives for someone that is  looking for specific information.

Almost right on time, wasn't it this time last year  that somebody threw a hissy fit with his "open letter" that ended in creation of  a separate list?

You know, the most frustrating thing for any teacher is when the 

children don't even understand WHY they are being disciplined!

Is this site being referred to?   http://avidfoxflyers.com/index.php

Actually, it's nothing like the Matronics  "List".

 It's very informal,  laid back, and posters have exchange thoughts,

ideas, pictures, and humor in a casual atmosphere, much as in real

life.

Every one is welcome. It's worth a look-see. If it's not your cup of

tea, so be it.
