Sorry to neglect this club.

I am the neglectful sod who started this club.
I'm sorry I haven't been more attentive, but it took
a long time to take off & then I got my own
computer on line & a fixed e-mail address & yada, yada,
yada, I forgot you guys.<br>Anyway, it seems there has
been a bit going on & I dont have time right now, but
I'd like to talk with you all. So, please get in
touch with me at benn@... (I know, bloody
Aussies).<br>In the mean time, here is a letter I tried to send
back to blkswimmer, but it didn't accept it.<br><br>Hi
Gregory,<br><br>Thanks for the e-mail. As you can probably see
from<br>the message list on the club, you are one of only
a<br>few people to post something. I kind of forgot
about<br>it actually, which is really bad & something I
really<br>hate when other people do it.<br>Thats not to say that
I've lost interest in bicycle<br>advocacy. In fact,
since I started the club I have<br>become more
involved.<br>What has happened is that I got my own computer, got
a<br>provider & then started to discover all the other
bike<br>sites, etc. that are around. I then got a
bit<br>dispondent about the Urban Cycling Movement club.<br>In the
mean time, I have started work on my own web<br>site,
which I was planning to use for bike advocacy
as<br>well as many other environmental & social
issues.<br>However, a lack of time & a distinct lack of
internet<br>experience has hampered this.<br>Right now, I getting to a
position (fingures crossed)<br>where I can spend a bit
more time on my site. So, I<br>might indeed shut down
the club, because I hate<br>leaving dead space on the
net. It seems kind of over<br>indulgent or something &
reaks of apathy.<br>If you would like, you can take it
over, although I<br>dont know how it would be done.
But, what might be<br>better, is if you & I & possibly
others, could join<br>forces to work on something
else.<br>Please let me know what you think.<br>You can contact me
on my main e-mail which is
<br>benn@...<br><br>Hope to here from you,<br><br>Ben North
