Ridecamp Oath
by Angie McGhee
I promise not to sound far more intelligent in print than I
am in person, thus leading people to think my advice is
worth far more than it is.
I promise to address the original question posted, not turn
it around to fit some campaign I'm on.
I promise to delete "Ridecamp" from the address box when
I post, "me too" to the sender.
I promise to avoid bringing up "too hot to hold" topics like,
"Is 25 miles endurance?" "Should AERC charge families
more?" and "Are weight divisions fair?" Under penalty of
death.
I promise to make a permanent copy of Susan E.
Garlinghouse's recommendations on feeding beet pulp and
save that woman's fingers from typing it all out for every
individual member on the list.
I promise not to add everyone else to my dirty joke list.
I promise not to talk condescendingly to another
ridecamper as if I am the authority on all matters, since
obviously the "authorities on all matters" prefer to lurk,
and by posting in the first place I am admitting my
ignorance.
I promise that if Julie Suhr ever "de-lurks" I will admit
that "The Master Has Spoken" and she is the final
authority.
If a new subscriber asks a question which has been
re-hashed 100 times, someone experienced post to
ridecamp: "I'll take this one" and answer them.
If someone asks if a particular saddle, breed, body type,
etc. is appropriate, I will not tell them,"Yes! That's what I
use" and then forget to tell them I've just joined this list
and never really ridden farther than 10 miles.
I will be free with my praise. I will send a "good one" note
to those who deserve it.
I promise to always question all authority...and advice. I
will think for myself.
I will share knowledge.
I will not attack others who share knowledge which I
consider "misinformation" I will simply inform them of my
personal experiences in the matter.
I will ride my horse often to keep my panties from
becoming wadded.
If Steph requests that we not discuss a matter, I will not
simply post why I believe it IS appropriate, and continue
to discuss it. I will be a good guest at STEPH'S site and
honor her request.
I will not comment on the running of AERC unless I am an
AERC member.
I will not leave an entire previous post on my "reply"
simply to reply to one line. I will delete all but the
pertinent material.
When and if I am ready to un-subscribe, I will NOT send a
note to ridecamp trying to do it. I will READ the
directions.

Also - for some of the RC Old Timers, if you have time on your hands, it’s really a kick to go back through some of the archives, some of the amazing things we did, and talked about. You can view the archives at http://www.endurance.net/RideCamp/archives/history.html . Select a date, and then you can search for any text - name, subject, etc. Or just scroll through the subject lines and be amazed). To find a specific text in Chrome, use the menu Edit->Find . The keyboard shortcut is Command F . (I searched every archive from 1995 to 2009 for Steph. Wow! We had some fun times on RC!)
