Subject: Some words about the rules


Hi all,

I think I will have to say some words about the recent postings
regarding usage and rules of the xrv-list.

Possibly we have some two different points of view here. Fact is: The
XRV-list is a technical mailinglist. It should cover problems, questions
and experiences with the Africa Twin as it is. Like every other
mailinglist supporting soft- or hardware.  If there is no traffic on the
list this doesn't mean something bad. I just tells you that all ATs are
running smoothly and there are no problems. Feel happy! There is no need
to start some senseless discussions in such times (we say
"Sauregurkenzeit" for that).

It is *not* a mailinglist for your daily gossip or meeting friends.
For this purpose we have dedicated meetings every year or you can
grep the members database for contacts.

And in case you don't like this - I am sorry. You are always free
to start your own AT-gossip-mailinglist or can switch to some
well-known motorcycling newsgroups.

Of course nothing has to be seen too strict. None will blame you when
you introduce new experiences about "well-known" topics to the list
or add some of your favourite jokes. But you should not see a
technical mailinglist as your private playground and entertainment
when your live gets boring :-)

However, I hope to meet you at the next meeting. And believe it or believe
it not. Even on ATiC meetings some visitors don't talk a word about their
bikes. There are more important things in live than your new
tyre brand !

My best wishes ...
