suzukovich - I appreciate your willingness to carry the torch forward. I prefer to completely dissolve this list and the methods I've used to manage it. I built it, I used it, and I want to lay it to rest. Please allow me the ability to do so.
Please take a step back first and think about how to use SS as a conduit for coordinating your events. SS is an amazing resource, and our fellow brethren are great people to hang out with online and in person. There must be other ways of rallying the troops for west coast FL events. I no longer posses the resources to figure out the solutions to those problems, and for the time being I don't have the resources to implement them. Feel free to stay in contact with the west coast FL SS members by developing your own list/procedures/policies/whatever.
I've learned that having one massive list is too much to manage, especially if it is not broken down by geographical area. For example I'd like to join you in some of the events you create but Tampa is too far for me to go. I'm sure many feel the same way about my events. I had a couple guys on my list that are from Gainesville. It's a long drive from there to downtown Orlando, or even Sanford. I never once saw them at anything.
I'm not going too far, jbayer. I have to finish my wife's M422 Mighty Mite. She really wants it home. I have to get my M1009 back on the road. I started a thread about it in the CUCV Hot Rodding section.
