What do you think?

I recieved an email and told the guy that it would be put before the
group......
Tell me what you think, it's your FAQ too.......
You helped write them.

Mike


Hey Mike,



You've done a great job with the FAQ for "alt.binaries.pictures.autos", and
I think a lot of newsgroups could benefit from folks taking the time to
draft a set of guidelines & getting started tips for their favorite group.



We operate a public site that offers Usenet provider comparisons and
commentary, and I wanted to see if you'd be interested in adding it to your
FAQ as a resource.



Best regards,

Joe Sykes

On first impression I don't see how adding their Usenet provider comparisons
to our FAQs would benefit ABPA or the people who frequent this newsgroup.
Do we want to be associated with an organization or individual that rates
Usenet providers? Is this rating of providers confined just to the USA? If
so, how about all the others who have been mainstays of this group? Now if
they wanted to post our FAQ somewhere on a site of theirs I wouldn't have
any objections but by linking to them aren't we endorsing their opinions and
ratings? So unless I had a lot more information I'd shy away from there and
remain independent.

Hmmm. I didn't even read that part. Yeah I might back off too.

Mike,

My 2 cents worth says to thank this guy but decline. We don't really
need him. I think we always do a good job of helping others with
posting issues, graphics ideas (several here have helped me with
that!) and other such things.

It doesn't matter where you go, it's who's beside you that counts,........

Thanks Max, Pat, Roadsign, SW,and others for your comments.

Ok, I'll do that. The general concensus is not to link but stay independent.
I'll tell him that we as a group do not mind if he wants to post our FAQ as
a guideline for others.....
Sound right?
