suggestions to revitalize this news group?
Wow, it's a shame to see so few posts on what's been the best newsgroup I've
ever run across! Are 'we' just inundated with too many ways to communicate? Is everyone twittering (whatever the hell that is) and facebooking and myspacing and blogging (how did I almost forget blogging?) Who blogs for god's sake? Everyone? I just don't get it. Any suggestions will be appreciated! Allot of people don't even know what newsgroups are, I guess. It seems to be like 'bulletin boards' back before the web exploded but, even then, there was a pretty committed core group. Have we just run out of interesting things to discuss on the most reliable sports car of all time? TOO FEW PROBLEMS? Is that it? I hope we can keep it alive. H-E-L-P! Chris 99BBB |

No twitfacing for me, by cracky. I'm just not sufficiently narcissistic, I guess. My innermost thoughts are none of anyone's business, as if anyone cared. Or maybe it's because I have real friends, and don't need imaginary ones. > Have we just run out of interesting things to discuss on the most reliable > sports car of all time? TOO FEW PROBLEMS? Is that it? Well...if you do have a problem, you're more likely to find the solution on the miata.net forum. We just returned from an hour's drive in the country. We are blessed with hundreds of "SAFE SPEED 20" signs within a 30-mile radius, many with serious elevation changes. I sure am enjoying my new RE-11s. It's hard to believe the local Miata club has no interest in these wonderful roads; all they want to do is eat and shop. -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

One of the female members was incensed because we were not set up to fix tires with nails in them. Change oil--ok if you brought oil and filter. Same with tranny & rear end oil. Tune or trouble shoot ok. Fix if not too involved and have parts. After that, the tech side deteriorated to advice if asked. 99 LS, turbo SBB, 8 injector version. |

This is one of two online social "gatherings" of any sort that I use. (the other group discusses the rapidly coming end of over 70 years of prohibition in this country) Like Lanny, I suspect that most of my personal life is largely uninteresting to the average person, though I am also sure that a personality profile could be built up from my 11+ years of posting here, if the wrong people did become interested. No twitter for me. Same with myspace, classmates, facebook, and the dozen or so other online social groups that have been invented since yesterday. :-) > I just don't get it.

Anytime things were going too slowly, he would usually post something that would get people talking, even if it was just his white paint photon drag discussions. ;-) > Have we just run out of interesting things to discuss on the most > reliable sports car of all time? TOO FEW PROBLEMS? Is that it? That may be it. Everything has pretty much been covered, but that never stopped a bunch of old car nuts before. > I hope we can keep it alive. > > H-E-L-P! > Chris > 99BBB I'm with ya, dude. I go to miata.net for some technical information, but never post there. Moderator is almost always a 4 letter word, imho, it gives most moderators that I have seen too much of a power trip, which I don't like or need when I already have the ability to filter out anything that I want here. Also, though it can take a while, especially anymore, most miata information that people seek can be found here on r.a.m.m.m. No question, however, that the miata.net forum is generally faster and better-informed. Pat |

My turbo/engine system has four RC550CC injectors hooked up to a Vishnu fuel rail. Is your 8 injector system offering more fuel than the ones I have, a better fuel dispersal, or something else I am missing? It sounds very cool! Am I correct in assuming that it requires a special fuel rail that is set up for 8 fuel injectors? Also, do you have a link on this handy for a lazy man? ;-) Look there Chris, it's Miata talk! Thanks, Pat |

You'll quickly learn to use as little throttle as possible, and you'll find you have plenty of power you're not using because it's too noisy. -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

Blogging: One of the most interesting people I've ever encountered blogs. http://www.dailycoyote.net/ One who travels from San Francisco to New York on a 150cc Vespa is not your ordinary female and the fact that she's "Smoking HOT!" <- my son's opinion) doesn't hurt. Be sure to look at earlier posts, the "About Us" and "Questions and Answers" section. Facebook: I joined Facebook and check it daily or more often, as my kid pointed out, Facebook is very useful for parents stalking their kids! Now that my family and SWMBO's family have scattered to other places, it's a great way to keep in touch. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |
