Pietenpol-List: Setting the record straight

[matronics]

Original Posted By: "Joe Krzes"
Just to set the record straight, The Listbot Pietenpol list that I started, was started as a possible alternative to Steve's list. When Steve announced that he was no longer able to invest so much of his personal time to maintain the old Piet list, I decided that like it or not, somone was going to have to step up and take responsibility to keep the forum going. There sure weren't any folks that I could see lined up to bear this repsponsibility, So I took it on, not liking it one bit, but feeling like it had to be done by someone. I informed Steve early on of what I was doing, and he appreciated it, but already had the deal with Matt going, so he held my list in reserve. With this, I backed out and didn't promote my list. There are only 4 folks on it who were helping me test it out, and it's never grown past that. I think what we all need to do, is grow up and get past all the pettiness and cute remarks about others interests, age, whatever, and get on with the business of building Piets. This division of the ranks is exactly what leads to the demise of discussion groups, work groups, friendships, or any other thing where people with a different background, but a common interest come together. I don't think we can afford to lose a single persons viewpoint in this endeavor, cause with their leaving, we lose a whole lifetime of insight and wisdom. For what it's worth, I have started construction on my Piet now, I'm working on rib number 3 and about to put together jigs for the tailfeathers, and I've ordered my hinges from Vi Kapler. Hey - I know a good deal when I see one! I intend to stay with this list, and I'll sign onto Howard's too, who knows what I might pick up. But don't expect anything but an echo if you venture onto my Listbot list, just ain't any activity over there.________________________________________________________________________________
