I bet that those of you who remember my starting this are wondering:
"Did Kelly give up on the address book?" No, I didn't. But with the
list changing a number of months ago, and my changing jobs and all, it
got put on the back burner. So now things are settling down again, and
I'm picking this back up. For those who've sent info, I still have it
(but if anything's changed since you sent it, please update me).
For those who haven't, please do. Here's the deal:
I'm building an address book of GTS owners worldwide.
Anyone can be part of it; Nobody HAS to be part of it.
It will be distributed ONLY to those who submit their info to it.
It will NOT be put on a web page; it won't be given to spammers; it
won't be sent to the list (which would wind up in the archives.)
The ONLY way you can see this thing is to send your info and be part
of the book. You don't have to answer each question. If you have
unlisted phone numbers and don't want to share 'em, fine. Don't
send 'em. However, a number of people have sent info stating in
the "notes" section that their numbers are unlisted, and they're NOT
to be distributed. And that's a good use of the notes field. Other
good uses are:
"I work nights, don't call in the daytime"
"I can provide lodging, but only with a lot of advance notice";
"Please don't drop in unannounced"
Don't bother with comments of "Call me when you're in the area, we'll
go for a ride!" That's assumed. If that's not how you feel, THAT'S
what to say in the notes.
A note of "I love my GTS, it rocks! And the Heli-Bars are great!"
will be ignored and not added to the book. Btw, the notes field isn't
huge, so be concise. (this is a spreadsheet I'm working on)
Data fields are:
Last Name:
First Name:
Work Phone:
Home Phone:
Home Address:
City:
State/Province:
Postal/ZIP Code:
Country:
Email address:
Web Page:
Can you provide lodging?
Can you provide garage/tools?
Can you provide truck/trailer?
Notes:
Now, this is important: Mail your response to me DIRECTLY. OFF-LIST.
If reply TO the list, EVERYONE will see it, it'll go in the
archives, and everybody in the free world will be able to see it.
And thus be able to spam you. And can visit your house.
If that's what you want, then go for it. I assume no responsibility
for keeping your info secure if it's broadcast on the list.
I already have the info for 35 GTSers. I haven't sent it out to them
yet, as I was hoping to get this a little more complete. If you've
sent me info, and you want the list as it is now, just let me know.
I'll fire it off.
I just re-read this, and it sounds a bit obnoxious. (I mean, more than
my messages usually are ;-) It's not meant that way, I was simply
having fun with it. I think this will be a useful thing for us.
I can't think of the number of times I'm out somewhere, and wonder if
there are friends close by.
Cheers,
-K
