<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>The following is a documentation of my
experience: Please be patient.....there is a point to this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>I do not have an opinion yet about RCU
because I have never been on it.......SO.....I just went to <A
href="http://www.rcuniverse.com">www.rcuniverse.com</A> and waited three and one
half minutes for the home page to download. I then clicked on new member login
in to spend another minute to download that page......no problem. I entered my
email address twice as required and clicked "next".........opinion started a
little now. It took three times refreshing that screen before it would go
through without saying "script error".......NOW I'M REALLY
IMPRESSED.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>Ok, now I am registered. Now I choose
"Express" or "Custom" registration. It tells you that one can customize and the
other you cannot. That would be great if I knew what was in there so I knew
whether I would need to customize something or not.......GETTING MORE
IMPRESSED</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>NOW I AM REGISTERED.......30 MINUTES
LATER.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>I now went back to the RCU home page to
log in and waited only two and a half minutes this time for it to download. I
now find out that I am already logged in........HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? I OPENED A
NEW SCREEN TO DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>Ok, now what......I searched the word
"Pattern"......got five results that were not in the section of someone trying
to sell something and FOUR of them were about someone trying to sell something
and the other was an interview with Jason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=3>Now I am really bored (and
disappointed)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4><STRONG>IF ANYONE IS WONDERING WHY
PATTERN IS DYING, CALL ME </STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I tend to use the RCU forum as a general pattern forum. It has the best
functionality that I have tried. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the NSRCA invested in it's own forum it could have a public section
and a members part of the forum. Publicity is paramount.</DIV>

<DIV>The suggestion was to consider using RCU as the official forum for the
NSRCA SIG. The point wasn't that RCU currently has more discussion than this
list (though lately it seems to). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If we used RCU as the official NSRCA forum there would be more content
on RCU and we'd have better tools to carry out our discussions. In addition
we would have more exposure to non-pattern fliers that may be interested in
what we do..</DIV>

<DIV>I'd sure like to know what you find concerning."Pattern" on RCU or
RCG. In the Pattern forums on RCU there are agonizingly few each day.
