... I just borrowed that photo and uploaded it (with the backstory) to a pertinent yahoo group of which I am a member. Will forward any comments. And I might...
Maureen, I got my calendar. This was my 9th year. I haven't made it yet. Maybe next year. I never made the video or the DVD either except in 2001 when I was...
Congrats on making it into the calendar! In my 11 years, I haven't made it....but our bikes have! Of course, I wasn't there this year, but will be back next...
I think the route announcement is on the 19th, Don. But anyway - two weeks from now we will know for sure. Yay!!! ... except ... silly to ... going ... but I...
I made it in this year. I'm the guy in the blue sleeveless jersey at breakfast on the September page. I think that photo was taken on Sunday morning, the day...
I agree with a recent post about the DVD. It seems trite, but if you're willing to spend 4 hours or more a day on the road, what you want to see (or at least...
Hi Amanda, I have never seen an example of a GOBA calender. Can you tell me if I made this years.? Very easy to spot, look for a Litespeed Vortex with the...
Hi John! I didn't notice you in the calendar but I'll look. You'll probably get one in the mail soon, as everyone here in the US is just getting theirs. I got ...
Amanda, At the moment I am really just 'still in touch' with Bonnie. So who knows. Believe or not although I went to Finland for completely different reasons I...
John asks about whether your 2nd GOBA can be as good as the first. I've met people who never do a tour more than once, on the theory, "so many rides, so little...
I delete the spam as quickly as I see it. I can turn on moderation so that nothing gets posted until I (or other selected moderators) approve it or I can also...
Ken, It concerns me that this is a family group and that young people can access these links. I just delete them , but there does seem to be more of them...
Ken, As moderator of the Yahoo Group OETOWPATH (Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail) we have the ability to delete or ban members. I just noticed shazia_naseem_19...
Just another quick note: the spammer has also listed her message in the links section of the board. Henry ... Towpath ... would ... each ... increased ... ...
... I have turned on moderation for new members. In the past, banning spammers didn't help because they always came back with a second (or third) e-mail...
Ken, As moderator for several Yahoo groups myself, I know you can also add some "security" questions to moderated new member requests. You could ask them what...
Great idea - EXCEPT, I specifically joined this group so I could find out about going on GOBA - before going. I wanted to read all the ins and outs about the...
Dana , sounds like your life has had its 'ups' and 'downs' maybe third times a charm for you...you will love it! Hope you will be there this year! Ride...
I have left membership open so people can join and leave whenever they want and I also allow old messages to be read by non-members. I want to encourage first...
Would general questions work (i.e., What does GOBA stand for?, What month is it scheduled?, What's the anniversary of the next GOBA?, etc.)? Perhaps the...
Possibly. Or you could do as banks do and let users select from general questions only they would know, like their mom's maiden name, what year they graduated ...
I think the monitoring of the messageboard is as good as can be expected. Lets dont make it so complicated that it is hard to handle. I doubt there are very...
span?.......spam? whatever. You know I have contacted some of those ladies wanting bicycle rides. They were very nice. One of them had snacks brought to us...
... She also wanted to know if I would to go church with her on Sunday. But we would have to stop at Grandma's first to see if she is okay. Is not that...
