List Update, Rennlist Member Site,
Excellence Magazine
It is with regret that I am forced to announce the formal closure
of one of our lists - the Flamers list. Without
going into specific details, as of 09:00 EST today, that list will
be permanently closed to all posts.
However, during the next week - Rennlist will announce several
additions and enhancements. One specifically
is being developed for folks who have a Rennlist Membership card,
and will be closed to non-members. Within
that site, you will have access to some substantial Rennlist Price
promotions, model specific FAQs, Technical
"HOW-TOs", a closed member Web Discussion Board, member
only e-mail lists, Rennlist special
announcements and programs will be announced before they are
disclosed to the general sites, and a few
other surprises - so please stay tuned.
As many list subscribers have noticed that Rennlist has invested
in a full color/full page advertisement on the
inside front cover of Excellence Magazine in the December issue
(CONGRATULATIONS to John Jentz (914 list)
and Joe Jackson (924/944 list) for winning Rennlist Racing Team
Shirts for being the first to post to the lists
about this ad:-). This specific issue of Excellence is the single
largest ever - and with new exposure to hundreds
of thousands of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide - you may notice
some new names on your list. Over the past
36 hours alone, Rennlist e-mail list subscribers have increased by
several thousand. To you who may be new
to Rennlist - you have our sincerest "Welcome!"..!!
I will ask, please - that if a new list subscriber does post a
question - please take the time to help them out,
rather then Flame them. So, instead of replying "You BONEHEAD
- ITS IN THE ARCHIVES…", try to appreciate
that many new folks have no idea *what an archive is!* - much less
where to find it - or even that Rennlist has
list/Board message archives. So a reply like "Hey (whatever
their name is) - you may find some of this info in
the archives, so just go to http://www.rennlist.com and click on
"Search the Rennlist Message Archives".. If
there is any unnecessary Flaming of new list subscribers - then
you leave us no option but to take direct action
- and frankly, as most know - it's my least favorite task of
administering this site.
In short, if you assist in welcoming these new folks into Rennlist
- the concept of the Rennlist Community is
enhanced. For your efforts on this matter, you have my sincerest
appreciation.
