A friendly note from your Triad Ride List admin

[Ian Joyce]

List members,

The Triad Ride List on Google Groups has grown from about 75 people,   
way back when we started, to (as of this moment) 478 people.

Because people have found this list in different ways, I want to put   
on my list manager hat and give everyone a brief reminder of the list   
raison d'etre (that's French for list-ness) and rules. Here goes:

The list exists to help NC Triad area cyclists organize and promote   
rides, and share information about cycling news and issues that affect   
us all. It is not affiliated with any club or bike shop, although we encourage folks who are part of either to participate here.

The rules are simple:

1. Cycling-related posts are okay. Off topic posts are not.
2. Be nice. Do not waste bandwidth complaining about others' posts.
3. Don't be clueless. This list is about bicycling, not motorcycling,   
   scooters, mopeds, etc. 
4. Commercial messages about bicycling are okay, within reason. Have a bike/wheels/pedals/etc to sell? Post the item once and if there's no interest here, try Craigslist.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an unmoderated list (messages you send go directly to list members, without awaiting approval of list managers) with one exception. I'm now moderating the first post of all new members. Spammers using Gmail addresses are now preying on Google Groups, including ours; this moderation allows me to delete messages from newly-subscribed spammers before you receive them (and there are a lot of them). New members may see a brief delay before their first message to the group is delivered, but all their messages after that will be unmoderated.

Thanks for reading.
