[freegeek-startup] startup or intergalactic

[Shawn Campbell]

I have a question. What lists currently are existing FG's supposed to post to to get answers about day to day activities. There are times that I have posted to start-up and heard no response, either due to wrong topic of lack of moderator.

It was once said (numerous actually) that people inquire about becoming a FG, and do no realize the hard work that it takes.

I feel FG's need a place to discuss major things affecting them daily with a strong moderator. If there is no strong moderator, then the list  may not be as active. I also feel that it could help to keep the list open to other recycling groups to learn from, but at the same time there should be an area just for FG's. Other lists are closed to other FG's so I do not feel this new one should be a bother either. Consistency must remain. Either some open some closed, all open, or all closed. Hope this makes sense.

Sincerely,

Shawn M. Campbell
Born Again Technologies - FG TN

P.S. I do need to make a post about some testing inquires as well as hardware gizmo tracking, where should I post this? We are looking to take FG TN a little further by implementing a takeback program as well. the state of TN is playing with the idea of a law similar to other states, and we're just trying to stay ahead.
