FRCTechs are off of their respective rockers

[Kris Verdeyen]

I have to admit, after answering the better part of a thousand questions (or ten questions 100 times each), I'd start to get a little loopy myself, but this cracked me up:

...think of something like American football as our model of allowed interaction, not a knife fight.

Those guys are doing a fantastic job, though - but I'm glad it's not me.

I agree! There's got to be a way we can thank them after this is over. Personally, I sent them a thank you e-mail and got a nice, pleasant response.

Thanks guys. We're trying; it hasn't been as clean as we wanted it, we couldn't get to some important stuff as quickly as we wanted and we shot ourselves in the foot a couple of times. Lots & lots o teams.

We may be looking for a Ring of Techs the next time we do this, not directly associated with any team, who can help us handle the volume. Any qualified, interested volunteers can email me at frcteams@usfirst.org, or send me a private message here.

Someone posted a way to remove the X10 ads for a month...

Look for the thread by Dr Joe that is titled 'tired of seeing this woman' or something to that effect...


That should save you a little trouble

I tried it, and it didn't work. (And yes, I do have cookies enabled.) Did it work for anyone else?

[AdamT]

It worked for me, but in yahoo, there's no way to get rid of it when you access the posts.

Unfortunately, that X-Box sweepstakes still pops up for me.

Better for FIRST to run its own board, or running it elsewhere.
I can not for the life of me figure out which message is which number when they say to refer to message XXX.
May I suggest http://www.chiefdelphi.com ?
IMHO, the forums here are better than yahoos, and they might even let you(FIRST) use the code on your own independant site.
Jus a thought.

I agree these guys are doing a great job. They are literally in a no win situation. I now have a new way to describe the game too. I usually tell people its like a hockey game. The "not a knife fight" analogy is great though
And in the latest round of replies they did a great job of sorting it all out.
Trying to clearly tell Rookies what the deal is.

Anyway. (Hip Hip Hooray) ^3

I receive the FRCTech2002 digest, and I havent figured out how to correlate the message numbers to the numbers that show up in the digest either, but online it's easy. Just display a message -- any message. Go to your address bar, and replace the message number (the last several digits of the URL) with the message number you need to refer to, and press enter. Voila!

When you're finished, you can just hit the BACK button to take you back to where you were before (This works with Internet Explorer, and I think it should work with Netscape too.)
