: : Jennie
: : Whilst I respect you as President may I suggest your words come late in the day.
: : They also confuse me as you seem to generalise as if the whole place is ridden with some dreaded disease.
: : May i make a suggestion.
: : There are many in fact the majority whom do just what you ask for, except you have not asked.
: : Find the sourse and eradicate it forthwith as this place is becoming as an aol chat room.
: : I also think there is no need to shout at the majority but perhaps at the minority, that is your decision as I understand it.
: : Bring about a new peace by new methods and even if it needs the attention of Robin, may I suggest you deal with it quickly, otherwise there are those clearly whom will leave.
: : I have a vested interest in this site, for I helped build it and I certainly will not stand back and see it brought to the state it is in currently.
: : You are President and in touch with Robin so please bring this about
: : Close the site down as it reaches 10000 surely this is a error of judgement to even suggest such a thing.

: Jeffrey,
: You, of all people, should know that advising Robin that there's a problem and his having the time to jump in and "fix it" is the great difficulty. He shouldn't be needing to fix *anything* to begin with. And, if it were not for my being in the midst 2 weeks of final exams, getting bureaucratic paperwork accomplished for next term, and of a location move within a week of each other, I would have been right on top of the goings on.
: It's very sad to see that people who make the BIG CLAIM that they are FANS of Robins' are going to such length to be rude and hostile. They obviously do not know the first thing about Robin and "His Way"...not the Byron character, the real person. He wouldn't be proud to call you his friend or fan when being obnoxious and rude is the only manner in which these so called "fans" are posting. He would probably be greatly annoyed and upset at the nature and tone that the posts have taken recently.
: You need not lecture me, RAD DAD, but I appreciate your support and encouragement in this issue...which I HOPE, at this point, does not need addressing...EVER AGAIN!
: As for those who are reading this, I would appreciate in the future that RULES of NETIQUE apply on this site. If you do not have anything nice and contributing to say, don't bother posting here! Go somewhere else! Email that person privately! Whatever it takes to keep THIS SITE purely positive and encouraging for ROBIN ...
: Robin NEEDS:
: support from his fans
: encouragement from his fans
: a warm, loving atmosphere from his fans
: a place where he can go to CHARGE UP when he's waiting to hear about whether he made the cut or not
: ideas of what to do to keep connected
: information on conventions in your areas
: WARM FUZZIES
: We are trying to have a place where all his fans can go to do these things. This is that place! We want to keep it open and growing. I ask you to join with me in the commitment to keep these ideals in mind when visiting and posting on this site. Think of yourself as visiting Robins' home...and treat it with the respect that you would accord such an invitation!
: Jennie Spencer
: President
: RAD Fan Club
: PS No, Jeffrey, words are never late...just never said.

Hmmmm.....I like the sounds of those "warm fuzzies". :)
