Shawn, that was a really good guideline on how we ought to behave on the mailing list.
One thing that I would like the challenge the membership, if you have been helped and you have attained a level of comfort on a topic -- consider documenting what you know and the process, either in a blog or success stories. CLUG is community based and will only grow if we all try to give back a little to the community. On more than one occasion I have heard the comment that certain experts don't hang around the group any more and for good reason. It is not their job to help us solve our problem -- there are a number of really knowledgeable people that are quite willing to share that knowledge, but they will get tired of answering the same questions over and over again. As an organization, we need to learn what they have to offer and help leave a legacy. We are not trying to make them redundant, but rather free them to further challenges. The learners today need to step up and become the teachers of tomorrow -- only in this way will we grow our knowledge faster and have retention of our sage masters. The challenge to the CLUG membership, what legacy are you going to leave? _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
