confused on forums...same address

[Tom Warner]

I am sure that many members of this forum are wondering what Jeff Millers
post was all about? There are now several wanderlodge forums in existence,
the one Bruce Morris has (a paying one), Ernie Ekbergs site(this one) and
the one Jeff Miller alludes to. This site was started by Ernie Ekberg
after some of us wanted a free site when Bruce took his site to a private
status with only paid membership. We felt that information relative to
keeping our Bluebirds running and safe should be free and open to everyone
without regards to our individual "Bluebird Expertise", and without
personal attacks or impuning of anyones integrity, and surely without
charging a yearly fee to gain access to it. There are a few people however
that do not wish to live by those standards but instead wish to be the sole
authority as to who can belong and who can post, and who are recognized as
"experts". I personally find this distasteful and totally uncalled for.
Every member of this forum should feel that they can post a question or ask
for help without feeling they will be either ridiculed, laughed at, or
made to feel anything other then total exceptance. There will always be
lapses to some of these rules but then nothing is perfect as we all know.

Some of you may have received an invitiation to join another forum, the one
Jeff Miller speaks of. I understand that process was selective and I guess
you should feel honored that someone thought so much of you, as to ask you
to join that group. But I see it as another effort entirely.........as
under mining Ernie Ekbergs personal integrity and an effort to sabatoge his
site. It was said that this other site is "more focused and better managed"
and to me that is a big red light to actually mean that
it will be ridgidly controlled. I hope that all of you will see that for
what it really is and stay here with this forum and make it even better.

Abraham Lincoln once said "You can fool some of the people some of the
time, but you can never fool all of the people all of the time". I hope you
see this latest effort as exactly that. We see things as they are not as
someone wants us to believe. We have a good group of people here lets all
stay and help each other and make this even better.

thanks
