Hello All,
I’ve been absent for this entire subject. It seems when either Curt or Myself take a leave of the list, things finally get exciting. So I’m back and can answer the big questions. Yes there was a map that allowed members to post as much information that I would allow with a reasonable level of security. There was no password or usernames involved. I did see every new posts and I had to remove people from the group because they abused the system. This all worked from a “hidden” link that was posted at the top of the messages in the group. Let me say that the map will be back relatively soon. It will be behind a membership/password system that will be needed and you must be a member of this group to enter the area. I’m still working on the entire solution but it’s close enough to admit it’s coming. Before this happens, why not share your location in the end of your email and the equipment that you have. It’s called a tag line. I hope that helps and if anyone has any comments on the matter can reach me via artmarb...@comcast.net <mailto:artmarb...@comcast.net> . -Tim From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of M.W.Foscue Sent: Friday, July 24, 2020 10:25 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Master Membership List Dustin (and all others), Back when we had the "Map of LOM Owners" available to access after we logged in to our Legacy Mill Google Group, we could see "map pins" placed wherever there was a LOM owner that opted to be placed on the map. If I recall, when you cursored over one of the pins, you would see the "name" of the LOM owner and the "city" they associated with. In your case, Dustin, the "name" associated with the pin most likely would have been "Chainlink" (unless you decided to have it display Dustin). As for the "city" - I'll use Tim Ziegler as an example. He lives in Foreston, MN. The nearest "big city" is St Cloud. So he might opt to have his "city" listed/displayed as St Cloud. If there is another LOM owner within a reasonable driving distance of that pin in St Cloud, and they wanted to link/meet up with a fellow LOM owner, they could contact Tim via an email on this board. If Tim were interested in a meet up, he would reply back and they could exchange info to make the meet up happen. With that pin map, there was very little info displayed. I doubt that there was enough there for any "data farmer" to waste their time with. If your map pin had a lot of info posted/associated with it - it was because YOU opted to display it there. I remember when I first got my LOM, I checked the pin map and found there were no owners nearby - but there were a couple within about a 2-3 hour drive. By the way, one additional bit of useful info that was tied to the pin was the model of the LOM you owned. Again, what data farmer is going to waste their time/effort with that info? I'll bet there is more "useful info" in your recycle bin and trash can that you and your neighbors put out each week. Just my 3 cents' worth. Perhaps "Master Craftsman" Tim Krause will chime in soon and give us "The rest of the Story" as Paul Harvey used to say. Wishing all of ya'll a safe, healthy, and Fun-filled weekend!

I've had credit card fraud happen to me three times now, and I don't feel comfortable making it any easier. Posting my address here is not going to happen, so what I would suggest is that we need another way. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
