Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / September 2007rv group differences.
Hi folks, Preliminary into first... I usually read and sometimes post on rec.outdoors.rv-travel and haven't esxperienced this group much. It seems great and I've noticed familiar names. My question is, what is the difference between the two groups? Tim fm CT I see where "Tim fm ct" <tims-pool-leagues@snet.net> contributed: >Hi folks, > Preliminary into first...

My question is, what is the >difference between the two groups? > Tim fm CT If you have to ask, you haven't read much traffic. One difference: RORVT has a charter: --------------------------------------------------------------------- SHORT VERSION OF REC.OUTDOORS.RV-TRAVEL CHARTER --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intended topic areas include] Recreational Vehicles, meaning: Any Recreational Vehicle; that is: Motor Homes (all classes), Trailers (Fifth wheels, Travel, Tent), and others such as Conversions, Pop ups, Slide outs Campers, camping reports, destinations, upcoming events, full timing, equipment reports, requests for repair help, etc. Rec.outdoors.rv-travel is not intended for commercial for-sale postings. Appropriate private advertisements, both 'FOR-SALE' and 'WANTED' are acceptable, commercial posts are not. This newsgroup specifically does *not* permit commercial advertising, postings by dealers selling or soliciting equipment, or postings by amateurs regularly dealing in used equipment principally or incidentally for purposes of financial gain. Individuals who make their livelihood by selling Recreational Vehicle, services or those employed in the industry are welcome to participate. But, should NOT post advertisements for their services. =======end short version of charter======= Will Sill The Curmudgeon of Sill Hill > I see where "Tim fm ct" <tims-pool-leag...@snet.net> contributed: > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > Will Sill > The Curmudgeon of Sill Hill BUT, does anyone actually follow it?

My question is, what is the >difference between the two groups? > Tim fm CT Hey, Tim. I've followed both of them for all the nine years I've been here. Some folks are on both, and to me they just seem to run together. I don't pay much attention to who's on one only, or which one. There's less political BS on alt.rv, though. But there are some folks here that I've filtered for various reasons, as there are on RORT. Some folks just insist on carrying on conversations with people I consider not to have anything to contribute and whom I have already filtered for that reason. I filter the others as soon as I see a pattern developing. I don't believe I'm missing much <g>. GB in NC >>Hi folks, >> Preliminary into first...

Something about double posting... Is that a no no? Tim fm CT >>>Hi folks, >>> Preliminary into first... I usually read and sometimes post [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >Something about double posting... Is that a no no? > Tim fm CT No, it's not bad to cross post to both groups. Posts to one are On Topic and relative to the other. If you do cross post, set a Followups-To: header and pick one group to receive replies in. Otherwise you will be chasing posts back and forth. Do cross post, don't make a separate, duplicate post to each group.

What Frank said. Frank, how do you set a "Followups-To: header"? GB in NC >>>Hi GBinNC, >>> Haven't been in your neck of the woods in awhile. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >GB in NC I'm not sure you can do it in your version of Agent. In later versions, it's part of an option to add "Extra Headers". You might try to search in Help on Extra Headers. SignatureFrank Tabor >>Frank, how do you set a "Followups-To: header"? >> >>GB in NC >I'm not sure you can do it in your version of Agent. In later >versions, it's part of an option to add "Extra Headers". You might >try to search in Help on Extra Headers. Nothing in the help index on that, or even on "headers." No big deal, though. I don't cross-post often, and when I do I don't have any trouble following the responses. At least I haven't noticed if I do <g>. But thanks. Always looking for better ways to do things. GB in NC > Do cross post ...if you must. > don't make a separate, duplicate post to each group. Yes, and thank-you. :) (I just love it when someone ELSE posts valuable "netiquette"!) I sometimes wonder how many are "here" using a newsreader compared to those using a web browser. IOW, how many really know what usenet is? Signature:) JR >> Do cross post > >...if you must. Actually, this is one of the rare groups that actually has a mirror in the Big 7. Searching for an RV group mostly will only turn up alt.rv. Any post here in alt.rv is actually totally relevant in RORT. However, the Followup is still the way to go. SignatureFrank Tabor |
