Except for the facts that....

1) I sent a confidential document to the BOD and Staff as an overview of the Website. Many of the stats are alluded to in the OPs initial post, yet diluted in the subsequent post. In fact - and in short - the first post in this forum began with "Hey John". I presume I was that "John".

2) The OP asked a question - which was my idea and a discussion point I had IN PRIVATE to a few of the BOD and other interested parties (Dealers posting in the for sale area) - which again, were private conversations and frankly - had anyone asked - are contingent upon tertiary action items which would have to occur well before that plan is in place (things like Sponsorship, advertising rates, whatever. Without THOSE - the Dealer for sale really doesn't make a whole lot of sense in growing PGCA, becuase we will be either shortchanging ourselves OR those same dealers.).

3) Thank Gawd I didn't discuss other ideas I have had in the making - as again - they would have appeared in this thread as well.

In short - when my private conversations are blasted across the General Forum without remorse or consideration to those of us who have the day to day task of delivering this forum, then something is broken.


4) Dean was/is correct. This conversation belongs in the PGCA Member forum - but you know what? I'm all done caring.

So you folks carry on.

Soon enough, my guess is - you folks will soon have a new Admin, on-line Membership guy, web hosting service (I do that too), new PHP and SQL programmer, a new guy to pay for the code, the servers, the circuits, hardware each and every day - and shucks - just a new guy...

When folks don't give a crap about what they post - I lose interest.

But....

I won't lose my professionalism.

When I have private conversations, I expect them to remain so - until I have something to announce.

I don't need others to do it on my behalf.

John

John, please don't. Your efforts, your words... all you do are so appreciated by the vast majority of those who use this forum. I know how you feel and what you're thinking... we've spoken privately and I understand. Just know that you are appreciated and are such an integral part of "who we are" and how we appear to those who come to this forum for knowledge and comeradship. You're the glue, man - the bonding agent. Dean
