----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I too was surprised that the "Official" Ercoupe page was set up through an MS Community. I belong to two MS Communities, one of them being a family oriented one, but I rarely go to either of them because the site is always soooo slow and because of the onerous entry efforts which sometimes continue even if you have your passport! In fact, we have had a terrible time getting members signed in because the system just doesn't always work. I also don't want to advertise for MS or look at their ads.
I suspect the reason for using a generic website location was because it's free. I promote that concept but I'm not sure that an MS Community is the best free site available. I know that Ed and others have gone to a lot of work to put this together and I am not critical of their efforts. I couldn't do what they have done, even on MS. I trust they expected some complaints, and our sincere comments. Keep in mind, everyone, that this is an evolving experiment. It may prove out that MS is a good solution. It may also prove out to be unworkable, and if that is the case the experiment will continue, I hope. I think as many of us that can should try to get signed on so that we can access the entire site as it is for a while, and then give the club our positive and negative feedback so that whatever changes are appropriate can be made. And except for true nose art, and the occasional mile high membership applicant, I agree with Spook that the site should not promote distractive unsafe flying. :-) Ken Doyle Springfield, Mo Alon N5477E ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Burkhead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: all topics coupe-list <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 18, 2000 7:34 PM Subject: [COUPERS] New web site: ercoupe.org > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- > > ------------------------------------------------ > > The Ercoupe Owners Club invites you to visit the new, official, Ercoupe > Owners Club website. > > http://www.ercoupe.org is now open. > > Ercoupe Owners Club paid members are encouraged to click on the menu > item on the left margin which links to "Members-only pages."
