[/quote]No, I''m not their new PR man. Yes I have jumped to their defence from idiots that seem to hold grudges from years ago, all seems very petty in my opinion attacking people for things, when they have clearly stated that they want to take the group in new directions.It seems that some just want to have a pop, regardless of what NCISA say, and that they will never win.

I assume thats a dig at me Morty [:$] Just to be clear I have no problem with Butler, he''s a nice person as are the rest of the committee, but you can''t post that you dont want the pinkun used for ncisa chat/questions one minute then use it to advertise ncisa when it suits them.

Haha, maybe just a little friendly one [;)]

I think its good that you have taken it upon yourself to keep them all on their toes, there will be no slacking from them!

I wont be keeping them on their toes [:)] as I haven''t renewed my membership yet, just find it puzzling when I asked a couple of simple questions on here I had to email them as they didn''t want ncisa chat on here but in the last week they''ve started 3 threads on here about themselves.

[/quote]

Actually, Morty, I think it does matter, because, at the moment, the only way to interact with NCISA is through email and, as Butler points out, only members get a copy of the reply. I personally think that NCISA would benefit significantly from having their own message board, as many people prefer to interact on this basis than through the more formal email channels. There are several committee members who regularly use this forum to express both personal and NCISA views on matters. Often the two become confused to outsiders and, in my humble opinion, that does the organisation little favours.

[/quote]So if people have a genuine interest in NCISA the answer then is to join! If they had a message board I personally think it would be very sparsely populated, I don''t see anything wrong with using this one. I would suggest that anything said on here would be the personal view of the poster, unless other wise stated. Its not like the NCISA posters here have NCISA included in their username to identify themselves, so I don''t see how it could be confusing. Unless people were going out of their way to make it a big issue I guess.

Think GMF was refering to ncisa committee member''s posts not ncisa member''s posts.

If they aren''t going to have a small forum for their members to use for opinions/questions/chat on their own website maybe they could ask Pete for a sub section on here for ncisa stuff then it will all be kept together for people to find but guess that would defeat having their own website.

[/quote]I guess it depends on your interpretation of what constitutes a simple question really, how many times have you seen a simple question turn into a ten page thread by the time all the NCISA haters chime in lol!!??I think that there really isn''t an issue here (in my opinion) the committee members surely must be allowed to take their NCISA hat off occasionally and post their own opinions here! The fact that they want to answer specific questions by E-mail shows where the line of demarcation lies for me.

The opening post refers to STOP PRESS not the following article which were my initial thoughts following the AGM.

(Tangy was pleased that some of our first actions on behalf of members had already started.Particularly as you and CA said you would wait and see what happened)

So again you haven''t bothered to look, as one new member is already on.

Not arguing Lapp because it is just not worth the 23 pages and insults that will surely follow as night follows day!!

We have our FIRST committee meeting on Wednesday night, the FIRST opportunity to bring/ propose/confirm new committee members.

Just remember I was only voted in at the AGM!!

It is encouraging that you Lapp, a confirmed non member, should take (together with CA) such interest.

Actually, Morty, I think it does matter, because, at the moment, the only way to interact with NCISA is through email and, as Butler points out, only members get a copy of the reply. I personally think that NCISA would benefit significantly from having their own message board, as many people prefer to interact on this basis than through the more formal email channels. There are several committee members who regularly use this forum to express both personal and NCISA views on matters. Often the two become confused to outsiders and, in my humble opinion, that does the organisation little favours.

[/quote]

So if people have a genuine interest in NCISA the answer then is to join! If they had a message board I personally think it would be very sparsely populated, I don''t see anything wrong with using this one. I would suggest that anything said on here would be the personal view of the poster, unless other wise stated. Its not like the NCISA posters here have NCISA included in their username to identify themselves, so I don''t see how it could be confusing. Unless people were going out of their way to make it a big issue I guess.

Surely one of the principle objectives of NCISA is to engage with both members and non members by as many means as possible. A NCISA message board would be one means to do so and is more likely to generate more interest in the organisation and therefore increase membership accordingly.
