Just want to clarify something again...

[Luap McKeever]

It seems like every year I have to do this. Maybe it's a testament to the fact that we add roughly 1,000 new members each year.  That's a good thing for sure.

Everyday I seem to get an email from many members or those wanting to be members titled "you guys", "your staff", "subscription", "your office location" etc.  So, I just wanted to clarify that you guys is me, your staff is Chet, Rocker, Dusty and my wife, subscriptions don't exist, and my office location in reference to wildguzzi is my house.  Like "my staff", I have a full time job.  I do not get paid to keep the site running.  I do this for you and the brand without a hidden agenda.  Donations keep it alive.  Now, if every member sent me $100 a year forever, I would sell my business and do this full time

So, before you send me a nasty email wondering why it's been over an hour since myself or my staff has replied to you, bear in mind that we are probably away from the computer.  I don't mean to sound harsh on this, but just ask for a little understanding and patience.

 Wait , we aren't getting paid  It might be a good thing that Rocker and I can't be contacted by non-members , because , well , we aren't as nice as Luap  :laugh

It took about a week to get a response when I joined a trike group.  I didn't mind.  Unless there is a screaming need for forum access RIGHT NOW -- like your bike is on fire in a woodpile -- patience is a virtue.  Luap needs to vet an applicant to weed out the spammers.  It can take time.

Do you need references? 

John Hoffman (RIP) Seance anyone?
We can ask whether they have Budweiser at his new location.
Gordon - MG Cycle
Dave Richardson
Franz Nachod (sold SPC)
Curtis Harper
Joe Eish (RIP)

I understand completely but the last few days aren't my 1st venture here.

I think that all depends on what kind of wood the pile consists of, and how big it is. Also, some trikes are better left to burn. Yours, I would  go in after bare handed.

Sounds like it would make it easy, though, when that happens, wouldn't it?

I mean, someone who's not even on the board yet sends you a "nasty" (or even "whiney") email about why your staff hasn't responded to their RFI or application in the past couple hours?

I'd bury his IP address so deep into the "DO NOT RESPOND" trash barrel that it would never see the light of day here.   Why recruit trouble?   You know that someone like that is going to be a problem ....

You're 100% right.  I should do that.  But, I just fill the void and reply to them.  I don't know why I'm such a glutton for punishment.  Guess I hope that people will keep buying these motorcycles

Thank you!!!
You, your moderators, and your site have made enjoying the ownership of past and present Guzzis possible for me.

So where do we send donations?

Or did I miss something easy?

Look at the upper right hand corner of the page for the donate tab.
