Ditto here, too.
Just because Grant may have mentioned something doesn't green light it
for being "on topic". I'd hate for this forum to turn into "The Beeswax
Group"...

But it is a list about Riv stuff and nothing but Riv stuff (and how we use it,
which is- to me- often the more interesting discussion).
We all have other resources for talking about other stuff- back channel
discussions if we really want to talk to particular list members about other
non-Riv stuff, and of course family and friends. I like having the specific
focus.
And, of course, it's Jim's list and he gets to set the rules. ;-)

He's right, but constant talk about Riv stuff is... a bit boring.
Kind of like discussing Led Zeppelin-there's only some many ways to
beat the limited number of songs to death, until you've said all there
is to say-several times.

Hey all -
As I mentioned in the State of the List Report, I have a work project which
is taking a significant amount of time and energy right now. Thought I've
been able to track and comment on a few posts as a list member, I really
hadn't been going through all the postings with my admin hat on.
This may be a little blunt, as I need to get out the door (to work, rather
than what is shaping up to be one of the most gorgeous days in memory on
which the Lighthouse 200K was run...grrrr....)
I appreciate that everyone kept a respectful tone during the OT threads
which cropped up in the past week. That speaks a great deal about the
people in this group who are committed to one of the core principles.
But, I will ask people to remember that OT threads are OT. The topic of
discussion within this group is defined on the main group page:
"Dedicated to the discussion of Rivendell Bicycles and products, you don't
need to own one - just an interest in RBW designs is enough to join in. Ride
reports encouraged, as is a respectful, supportive and polite tone in all
posts.
This group is not endorsed by Rivendell Bicycle Works."
I'm in the habit of letting marginally OT threads exist, in the hopes that
they will end of themselves. It always (or only, depending upon your
perspective) takes two people to propogate such a discussion. So, I would
ask that if you find yourself to be one of those people, please stop or take
it to an off-list channel.
I'm aware of how the discussions began and how it arched to where it ended,
and honestly am pleased to see that they seem to have now been dropped.
The strength of this group is a product of its focus and the quality of the
information and responses.
Hope everyone can have a great ride today!
- Jim / list admin
