[YB in IN]

There is also the private message feature that isn't too bad to use.

I will deal with it I guess.

You can sign up for Yahoo messenger at www.yahoo.com,you just need to create a user profile. I use MSN messenger, same idea. Mainly cause it is integrated with LiveMeeting I use for work. Same idea. To use MSN messenger, you just need a hotmail account.

You can sign up with Yahoo! or AOL to get the benefit of
IM.

Personally, I think of the forums and ON are and should
remain complimentary.

Something I think would help draw others to MOA is to feature
each month's ON similar look and feel but instead of providing
the entire article, include a snippet. Perhaps the entire
contents page as well.

It's a lot of work to tie the web site and magazine together
in such a way that a member wants to visit one or the other.

So I was out messing around with the online stuff a while back and thought I'll change some of the stuff in my profile.

Never thought much of it until today when I was unpacking from the most recent plane trip. I was taking out of the breifcase the BMWON and the mailing label said

MR. BRADFORD BENN, SUPER GENIUS

So the stuff really does work.

I am not conceited, although I have every right to be.

I would like to see an online flea market. I would not be influenced to join up or not by this service but I think raising fees shouid not happen. If it can't be done within the fee structur as is - leave it alone. If I wasn't using this service I am not sure I would want to pay more for it. However, I suppose I am paying for a few things I don't use now and it isn't killing me.

I say fire the thing up.

That makes two of us, homes.

As I understand it the execs believe that any on-line classifieds would take away from the classifieds in the back of the ON. The ON goes to everyone in the MOA while only a small percent of the members use this forum (even though most of the members are on line). The execs do not want to do anything to lessen the ON's success.

So just use the IBMWR classifieds - BMW Motorcycle Marketplace

That's what I do, and it is a great place to find whatever you want!

One of the magazines I receive at work has a pretty sensible way for doing electronic and postal distribution. They mail a copy to their office. When the receive the postal copy, the electronic version is published. To them the inequity of people who live farther away not getting the classifieds before all the good stuff was bought up.
