should I let them in

I have 2 more request for membership to the Arizona chapter, stumppy65 and Boz Turner.
now here is the delima, I sign up a lot of people and never see them again. so do I just keep signing them up or should I have them sign an agreement that they will come here and post on a regular basis before I sign them up?

If it helps any,i also belong to a woodworkers site and they sign a lot of new members who only pop up when they need to sell somthing as aposed to coming on and saying hi or helping another member with somthing that their having a problem with,so i understand your concern.Whichever solution you decide on iunderstand Ive spent a lifetime making my word my bond thats not gonna change,except for health reasons i will be as active on this site as i possibly can. Thank you for concidering my application

I know that you sign up new members and for some reason they never post

But I think you should take a chance on these 2 new members

and because I invited Stumppy to join us

Boz Turner? that name sounds awfuly familiar.... well anyways

Thats what i think.

Should I say welcome here, or are you starting another thread for that

I don't see why this is an issue. I just assumed that any group that would let me join would let anybody in.

Hey bart, you'll never know if they'll post if you don't let them in.

Hopefully the next G2G will be bigger !!!!

Sure, let them in. You let me in, and I post.

I used to run a webforum for work. We had over 1000 members, but only 30 or 40 posted on a regular basis. You can't do much about lurkers.

Carefull...moods can get ya in trouble!

I reacted to a bad situation today and made it worse...almost lost my job!

I have to eat some humble pie and apologise tomorrow!

I dont really care about losing the Job, but the loss of insurance and 5 weeks vacation would have been nasty!

So...think first...of what you would lose, and anyone depending on you..

yours truly, a bit more humble...
