Yep, dead of night with greasepaint on my face.... a new list was
born... again...
I can name names over at WISPA that caused the problem.... I still
remember names.....
But I think we have kinda patched things up.
They have pretty much co-opted the whole AnimalFarm idea with my
blessings and I get to go to the show once a year and see y’all.
As much as I would love to do an old fashioned AnimalFarm, I am too old
and lazy to put on the show.

Yes, before I was on the Board at WISPA, they had hosted "manufacturer"
listservs. Chuck, was the moderator of the list for "motorola" at the
time, and his list was moved over. I wanted to host a MikroTik@ list,
as I was a vendor at the time for WISPA. That's when sh!t hit the fan,
some other distributors got butthurt, and WISPA decided that the
motorola list wasn't Chuck M's, and the MikroTik list wasn't mine
anymore. I notified Chuck M of the pending issues and how my list was
getting ripped from under me...and before WISPA could notify Chuck M
that his list was going to be taken over, Chuck M converted it to the
AFMUG list, shut down the motorola@wispa list and the AFMUG list was
born. Ahhhh...the memories :)
Regards,
Chuck

Yes, Michael Anderson. He got pissed about the OT stuff on the
motorola@ list. IIRC, shortly after the I QUIT incident, the list
server went down and he said it was a h/w failure (while out of
town? I don't remember if that was the case) and finally brought it
back up. But it was too late and AFMUG was born. More accurately,
the "Motorola II" list was born, and I believe that was hosted for a
short time on the WISPA list serv?
I think the combination of WISPAmerica and Animal Farm is great.

The list was Part-15 at one time, and existed prior to WISPA.
Can’t recall the last name - Michael somebody ran the
organization. One day Michael was mad about something and posted
the infamous “I quit” email - and that was pretty much the end
of Part 15 and the list. I actually think that was during a
Animal Farm session if I recall correctly.
Chuck took over the list after that - I don’t think it was
called AFMUG at the time, but it later became that. Might have
even been Motorola specific - not that it was ever on topic anyway.
There are WISPA lists - but the AFMUG list has lived on. Yes -
it’s Chuck’s list though occasionally the members donate money
for the cost of hosting it.
This list has it’s advantages. It’s membership leans toward a
group of people who have known each other for a very long
time. You probably shouldn’t say bad things about WBMfg
products (makes Chuck get all kranky) but everybody else if fair
game. I like it since it’s a place I can say things I can’t
really say with a WISPA hat on (or at least I can’t say without
blowback to WISPA).

I merge my AnimalFarm email list with my MailChimp list
about once a year.
You do realize that this list is my list, right?
So essentially every time I make a posting here I am
spamming you, right?
I used to do it every Friday right here on this list.
But I think it is cleaner and better quality to use MailChimp.
Did you unsubscribe from the Mail Chimp? That will prevent
it from ever
happening again.

I just got spammed by Chuck McCown. What's up with that?
I sure as hell haven't signed up for any of his email lists
nor done any
business with him, or even indicate I would like to. I find
it in extremely
poor taste to mine the Af list for spam targets.
