<<Dear Sir,>>

Joe, many of us here are on first name basis. Call me Mark, or MB.



<<I don't receive messages any more :-( >>

Heh, heh, neither do I, as the ersatz moderator! (j/k)


<<I've noticed that something changed in the Indoor Construction group.>>

Apart from so few messages posted lately? I'm not aware of anything else changing. Sometimes it's just "slow period" for indoor and sometimes other issues arise and active posters go elsewhere.


<<I supose that it's my fault..>>

Thanks, I had supposed it's my fault! (heh,heh) See, we've recently lost a few formerly active posters for various reasons. The 3 most recent cases I believe were due to my failure to not go "get" (scold?) other posters whom they believed had made inappropriate posts. I decided that posting "in poor taste" does not necessarily mean "out of bounds," that is, IF it's indoor-relevant. So I said so, (privately). 3 resigned, and I don't blame them. When a group depends on 12 or so active talkers out of 615 members, I wouldn't blame anyone for trying elsewhere, if only to escape my take on everything. But everyone is welcome to return, of course, and I still correspond privately with 3 of the above, as friends, I believe. (Additionally, it's pretty easy to sign up again under an alias just to monitor conversation, but those who do so aren't likely to speak using an alias, in this small community. )


<<Your advice please.>>

You may wish to catch some indoor chatter on Hippocket Aeronautics instead. Or, for an often off-topic fellowship-type FF group, maybe try Yahoo FFML, "Free Flight Mailing List." In both cases, it still amounts to a relative few who talk, out of hundreds of members. (Referring to indoor FF.)


<<Your advice please.>>

Or post and discuss your own indoor FF exploits here. That's what it's here for.

HTH,
Mark F1diddler
