 Fun and flames are welcome, advice and questions moreso, but we are a group of working folks with jobs, and I, amongst others, cannot sift through more than about 15-20 messages per day. Fun and flames are welcome, advice and questions moreso, but we are a group of working folks with jobs, and I, amongst others, cannot sift through more than about 15-20 messages per day.

 No matter how helpful you think you are being, this is not an appropriate forum for spreading the latest rumor of a email virus, or to solicit political activism in the latest Imminent Death of the Internet. Trust us. Save it for BS or BB, and see for yourself how many respond, "yeah, I got that mail 7 times already." No matter how helpful you think you are being, this is not an appropriate forum for spreading the latest rumor of a email virus, or to solicit political activism in the latest Imminent Death of the Internet.

 Bikers@ is primarily for discussion of relevance to motorcycles, motorcyclists, or riding, in the Triangle Area of North Carolina, USA. Discussion about any sort of biking problem is welcome, but an attempt should be made to keep it of practical relevance; theoretical or philosophical discussions are best taken to the rec.motorcycles newsgroup. Bikers@ is primarily for discussion of relevance to motorcycles, motorcyclists, or riding, in the Triangle Area of North Carolina, USA.

 Please try to reduce quoted text to a minimum...to help those of us who are spare-time-ly-challenged and scan messages quickly. One-liner jokes, while fun, are most appreciated when at the end of a message with signal content. Edit subject lines to reflect when a thread mutates. Please try to reduce quoted text to a minimum...to help those of us who are spare-time-ly-challenged and scan messages quickly.

 Some days there will be no list traffic (we hope!). Don't worry about it. The regular µFAQ posting should be in your mailbox sometime every now and then to let you know the list is still there. Some days there will be no list traffic (we hope!). Don't worry about it.

-Subscribing:+===== Subscribing =====
  
 We are a group of *active* motorcycle enthusiasts, not just cyber-identities. We expect that all subscribers will from time to time come out to meet people in person, whether it's to one of the regular events or to one of the irregular get-togethers posted on the list. If your location is such that this is not possible for you (like, you live in Canada or something) you might want to reconsider whether this list is for you. We are a group of *active* motorcycle enthusiasts, not just cyber-identities.

 To subscribe to this list, you must have a referral from an existing list member. Since we have regular social events, it should be quite easy for you to turn up to one and meet someone who will send a referral for you. In fact, it is strongly recommended that you turn up to one, or more, of our events first so you can be sure that we're the sort of folks you want to hang out with, since the list is, after all, about active participation. To subscribe to this list, you must have a referral from an existing list member.

 There is a digest version of the list available. Should you find that the number of email messages is overwhelming, you may want to try using the digest version. All the day's emails will be sent to you in one message. Each posting from the day will be attached to the email. This attachment process causes problems for some people, but alas, it's a "feature" of the listserv software, and cannot be changed. If your email reader automatically dumps attachments to a file on your disk, you may not want this version, since you'll have to open, and then trash each message individually as a file on your disk. There is a digest version of the list available.
