[6pack] ??

[Bud Rolofson]

Bob,

I have nothing against the 6pack forum but maybe I should at least  
explain my thinking.  Here's my take.

I find forums set up like the 6-pack forum to be cold.  I've tried  
other forums like that such as the Ford truck forum, and a RC plane  
forum and they all seem less personal than the email lists.   I guess  
its just my personal reaction to all the categories and sections.  I  
have no idea what category to be in or what to read or what to sign up  
for.  And I don't want to sign up for them all.  I know attachments  
and pictures are supposed to be an advantage on the forum but there's  
so many ways to convey info on the internet that isn't a huge plus for  
me.  I obviously don't get it...what the big attraction is.  I can  
understand organized, engineer type thinking people liking the forum  
but that doesn't describe me.  I'm more of a Triumph generalist I  
guess and like to read about cars other than just the 6 bangers.

My experience is that certain things on the 6-pack forum aren't  
available to a guest and I can't seem to satisfy the registration  
requirements.  It's a major pain to try over and over again only to  
have to retype everything every time so I just gave up.

Enough people are still on the 6pack and general Triumph email list  
that I always get questions answered so I guess I'll muddle along.  At  
least I have an idea of who I'm talking to on the list...whereas I  
don't recognize anyone on the 6-pack forum but I know that's a  
function of having been on the list for 14 years.  Its just easier  
knowing who the ramblers/chatters are and who the tech/knowhow people  
are and I've developed my internal calibration over the years to pick  
and choose which to read and I'll do both depending on time available  
and mood.   I'm comfortable stuck in my rut I guess.

Glad to hear the cruise control info was useful to some.  I take  
solace knowing that anything of value from the forum will show up on  
the list from the folks that do both, like you.

Regards
Bud Rolofson
