<VV> Sorry, Hello, ??

[Dennis Pleau]

There are many ways to search the VV archive.  Since I use Google all the
time I prefer to use it to search the archive. By putting
"site:vv.corvair.org" (no "") before what you are searching for you can find
any topic of interest.

I'll echo what JR, Craig and many others have said.  I joined the Corvair
Center right after Dick started it in the early 90s and have been on and off
it now and then.  I have been a member for the VVs since 1993, I'm a past
Chairman, a member of VairOrg and a member of VV-help the admins.  I really
like the push of a email list rather than a pull site like the CC.  That is
just a personal preference.  Right now we have the best of both worlds with
both formats available.

You are right the VVs are a email based discussion but the third bullet
point in the rules state:

 "- This is a Corvair list, try to keep posts to Corvairs, or at least about
cars or air cooled engine technology, especially:
        - No politics, unless they have *explicit* Corvair or automotive
content."

If you want to discuss the Webpage or any other CORSA related business, I
suggest you email the directors in your region (see page 2 of the
Communique) or all the CORSA directors @ corsabod at corvair.org.  

You have to remember CORSA only has two paid staff and updating the website
is behind a lot of their other duties.  I think CORSA has some volunteers
are going to help revamp the website.

Dennis

Subject: <VV> Sorry, Hello, ??

Not sure how I came off as such a villian, let me back up a bit. 

I bought my corvair back in 03, 3 kids a collapsing economy working for GM
all got in the way off the hobby a few years back. 

Was a member of corsa in 03, 04 and I think 05. 

Just started getting back involved in my car this summer, and getting info.
Been on Corviar center for about 3 months and noticed a continuing
discussion about Corsa. 

Being a very web happy person, I am mortified by the Corsa website. Becouse
of the heated discussions and my surprise about the website. I started
trying to learn about corsa and what has happened recently (I do not
remember this level of discontent when I was  a member earlier). 

I have been trying to find somewhere that might have a corsa board discusion
or something where people were giving suggustions. I heard that VV was the
Corsa sponsered discussion area. 

So I came here looking for info. Since this is an email based discussion I
could not see past conversations so thought I would jump in and ask my
questions to get answers. 

Unfortunetly asking these questions came across as some kind of attack on
the status qou. Since I don't even know what the status qou is I don't know
how I attacked it, but I think I did. 

So Hello all and to those who's toes I stepped on and those I have offended
sorry. I did not mean to do it. 

Someone mentioned a VV Archive if someone could point me to it, or to where
Discussions about corsa can be found I would greatly appreciate the
information. 

Is there somewhere that discussions about new ideas and suggustions for
things Corsa might do take place on the web with the BOD's inputs? Would
like to see what things have been raised in the past and what folks thought
of them. 

Thanks for the guidance and again Sorry to those I offended.
