Hello to all:  

   

Hope many of you have had a great adventure to the annual Oshkosh happening.  

   

Some have flamed me, both publicly and privately, for cluttering up the “List” with my weekly Chat Room reminder messages.  Some of you have told me that it really serves no purpose other than giving me a place to talk about and advertise my products.  Some of you have expressed how much you enjoy the chat room.  

   

The chat room has been going on for over two years, and there have been a lot of collective users.  Some are very regular and hardly ever miss; others have stopped by from time to time.  It is a great place to bring up thoughts and ideas about building your Zenith Airplane.  Over the past months many suggested solutions to questions ask have been offered.  It is also a great place to find out, in a 1 on 1 type of situation, how your friends build is progressing.  

   

For the last two weeks I have not sent out any Chat Room notices.  For the last two weeks no one has shown up for the Monday evening chat room, other than me.  I know that Oshkosh takes a lot of you away from your keyboard and screen.  For others this is also family vacation time of year.  

   

I guess it is time to ask some questions about the chat room operation.  

   

Is it time to abandon the chat room?  

   

Should the chat room continue but maybe at a different day and time?  

   

Is there a problem with the format of the chat room?  

   

Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated, both publically and private.  

   

My direct email address is:  George(at)MrRace.Com (George(at)MrRace.Com) if you wish to comment directly to me.  

   

This is also a reminder that the Chat Room will be open for business, Monday evening, August 2nd, and 8:00 Eastern Time.  

   

Hope to see many of you there and hear about your Oshkosh adventures!  

George

The only problem I saw with the chat room was technical. It would periodically 

log me out or drop me without warning. Others complained of the same thing.



I tried different operating systems and different configurations, thinking the 

problem might be on my end. None of these attempts made any noticeable 

difference.



That has been a factor in my recent absence from the chat room, but the biggie 

has simply been that I've been busy. Your chat room reminders made the 

difference between me visiting and not visiting the chat room. If I had time, 

and got the reminder, I visited. Without a reminder, I'd forget it.



I think your chat room, while it may not attract the masses of individuals, is 

a valuable addition to the Zenith community. Thanks for providing it this 

long!

I don't attend the chat room but the reminders do not bother me at all.



I say carry on.

George,



I would encourage you to continue sending out the messages inviting folks to

the chat room.  I suspect the room changes address from time to time and

apparently the reminders get you more participants.



For those of us who are recovering computer geeks it is very simple to

automatically direct your reminders to the trash just like I do with some

other regular messages.  



I have never been to the chat because I like email and expect there would be

many people at any chat who would love to flame me the whole time I was

there.  I don't need that kind of grief.



Regards,



Paul

I have attended the chat on many occasions, and it's a lot of fun.



To those who haven't tried it, you should.  Every time is different.



It's a great opportunity to get to know fellow builders in "real time", as well as ask and answer questions.



Nobody has ever been flamed that I have seen.  



Thanks for doing this, George.
