I'm not telling people, I'm telling a company.
Rocket wants something out of U2UG but won't give it the financial backing
it needs.
That's not productive.
Can you please scream a lot because everybody loves it :)
The problem with that point of view is that you don't know what Rocket
I don't see why memberships must be free in the first place. Every user
group i have been involved in required dues to be paid in order to fund meeting
places. Why does any company need to fund anything that is strictly user
oriented? You are receiving a user group service, which is free
The user group is for the users. If any user has an idea that we can put into
a business plan then we can put it to Rocket and Rocket will respond on the
merits of the plan. What is difficult at the moment is what we can do.
Rocket advertises the user group in its emails, at the U2
The issue with a paid group is, as you say, the need to give value for the
subscription which needs a serious investment of time from someone to generate
that value. At present we all struggle to give more than an hour or two to the
group, I don't see where the time is going to come from for

Hey group:
I have mixed thoughts on this whole thread. Personally, and as the new U2UG
president, I am so excited about helping move U2UG forward, but at the same
time, am challenged by some of the thoughts expressed herein.
I've served on the U2UG board since it's inception, and since the
The movie star Ice Cube has a verbal go-around in one of his movies taking
place I South Africa if I remember correctly.
The other actor says Have a nice day.
Ice Cube replies Don't tell me what to do!.
Thus, an exception to the I-Beam construct (kind of like using a goto statement
in code)
ToastMasters does not have the I-Beam as part of its charter, this was merely a
brilliant speech that I heard when attending a TM meeting.

Then George correct my factual incorrectness by telling us what money Rocket
is providing for U2UG ?
You're saying that my claim that they aren't providing any is factually
incorrect.

First Fft2001 Can we have your name. How do we know that you are not someone
from a competitor like Oracle trying to make Rocket look bad.
Secondly the focus on money is pointless. We don't need money we need ideas.
If anyone has a good idea and it needs some money from Rocket to make it
I imagine that Will assumes people know him asfft2001 from his email and
frequent postings (just saying). I worked with him at Brooks Brothers and
Salant when they had Pick systems. I am sure there isn't any hidden agenda
there... but I should let him speak for himself. :)

Thanks Ron
Not knowing raises concerns of what are the motives behind the emails. Will
probably means well, but misunderstands what Rocket is doing for the U2UG and
some of his comments are unfair to the people involved.

No, this whole thing has got well beyond tedious now, if you haven't got the
point yet that Rocket spend money on U2UG rather than give money to it - and
that the board want is this way - you never will.

Hi Dawn
I was raising an issue of etiquette to put names to emails so that everyone
knows who they are dealing with and it is transparent that there are no hidden
agendas. Not everyone knows who Will is as he has a meaningless email and he
signs off with W. George would not know that Will
