<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>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. </DIV>
