Host BobD says: Well, friends, it's 9:06 here. ... Host BobD says: I had wanted to review our Mentor activities, but we have minimal SPC attendees. ... Host BobD says: Some have indicated we've been meeting too often, but I felt it was necessary to get us "back in the saddle". Host BobD says: Maybe the NewsGroup approach could be more useful. DaveG says: c Host BobD says: GA, Dave. DaveG says: I think from a personal scheduling point of view the newsgroup ought to be seen as quite convenient. Host BobD says: We have the SPC NG set up, but so far I've been talking to myself there! Host BobD says: As it's 9:10, I think we should sign off. Any c/q from y'all? Bill says: c Host BobD says: GA, Bill Bill says: Maybe since many think we are meeting too often (which I do not agree)... Bill says: you should ask them to post their reports to the SPC NG and then we could meet only if there are questions or discussion items... Bill says: that are not covered by the reports. DaleC says: c Host BobD says: GA, Dale DaleC says: I agree with Bill, good idea! DaveG says: c Host BobD says: Thanks, guys, for your inputs. GA, Dave DaveG says: One could also 'seed' the NG with questions (one per post) that attempt to a single item forward. CharlesL says: c Host BobD says: GA, Chas CharlesL says: Agree with Dave. By putting the Q on the NG, you leave a hole that calls to be filled. Host BobD says: OK. Thanks. We'll try that and see if we can stir up more SPC activity via the NG. Host BobD says: I think I'll go ahead and close out tonight. ... Host BobD says: I'll post on the NG what I have re Mentor reports and see if I can stir up more interest/inputs. ... Host BobD says: Thanks, everyone, for joining us tonight. Keep the faith! ... Host BobD says: I think I may try the next SPC get-together on 8/21, depending on feedback received. DaleC says: Good talking to you guys. Goodnight! Host BobD says: Thanks again for joining us! See y'all tomorrow night. DaveG says: Good night!!
