Hey Tim -
Just thought it might be fun thats all.... I am entirely frustrated by that point you bought up. .... (whoa is me... as I hang my head...)
And as the "old timers" know a lot about each other, it is the newcomers that would benefit by sharing their information (don't tell us where you live or what hours you work etc) since we don't know them very well. In our parent groups, many don't want to overcome the hurdles which breeds the clique mentality, only the tough survive. Many need that first gesture, that give a little before they give a little, to keep them coming back.It's especially important to let familiarity become a sort of hurdle that newcomers have to overcome in order to get involved. Else -- like with our parent groups -- they won't.
