Title: Question for Members of the Help Assist List
Post by: Nick Badame Refrig/ACC on January 25, 2008, 12:28:31 PM
Hi Folks,

We are thinking of printing the "Help Assist List" from Dave Siegel's site, in an upcomming issue of Bus Conversions Magazine.

This would be of great help to the folks that don't use the internet.

http://www.cruiser-magazine.com/Help_assist_data_base.html
also here
http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=2840.0

Question,
What are your thoughts on having our phone #'s and e-mail addresses, "as they are in the list" printed in the mag?

Any thoughts of advice would help.  Also, if we decide to do so, will we need permission from all the folks?

Thanks
Nick-

You might want to make sure the information is right.

I know mine is out of date.

By all means you have my permission. (Thank you Richard for your concern.)  I want to be sure that everyone can have access to this information that needs it.

Dallas please send me an update of your info off line and I will correct immediately.

As a matter of fact, I would suggest that everyone checks their info and makes sure it is correct. You can e-mail me at:    davesiegeldesignsATgmail.com  if a correction is required.

It will take some time for me to get this in a form that Dennis can use.

Nick can you supply me with Dennis's e-mail (off line) so I can confer with him and make sure that I get him exactly what he needs.?

This is great Guys and Gals, I'm excited about this.

Nick,
I would be okay with this.  It might be nice to pass around to those of us on the list a chance to update the data if out of date.  .... I don't even remember how to get back to the list ....  ???

Nick, it might be a good idea for Dennis to include a link to the online Help assist list. What do you think?

Nick I sure don't want my cell number posted in this pub ay .75 cents per minute in prime time it could bankrupt a guy. As a matt of fact I just asked Dave to remove me from the list altogether until this is taken care of one way or another.

As I said in the very beginning, I would never sell or give your name and information to anyone without your permission. I would never dream of having Mak publish your info if you didn't want it exposed.

I have received several requests to remove names from the list and I have done so. I will continue to do so as long as you want me to, have no fear about that.

And don't worry about the timing, I haven't even spoken with Dennis from the magazine yet, so we are a long way away from ever publishing this list.

On the bright side..............Wouldn't it be cool if it to looked like the member list on FMCA  in their magazine?

Since I haven't forwarded the list if anyone has any ideas how to make it better let's talk about it.

Here is the link to the help assist list. This is from our own Help board and gives a lot of the information you might want to review.

I wouldn't mind, but last I checked last month or two, my info was incorrect and I couldn't fix it. Finally gave up.

You might want to verify the listings before printing them.

Looks like the Minnesota and Michigan entries are mixed in with eachother.   No big deal ...

My information is correct.  Go ahead and publish!

I'm OK with this proposal.  My info is correct. 
From the looks of my bulk-files, every spammer already has at least one of my email addresses.  >:(
No harm will come from BC Mag. 
I'd keep that edition with the service manuals in the bus.   
Hope it has good directions to Jack Conrads Retirement Village!  I'm thinking of retiring (wintering?)in Jacks backyard!  ;D

Hi Everyone

Well so far I have removed the names that have asked to be removed and and fixed the ones that I knew how to fix, or that they e-mailed me changes. I have also fixed the Michigan/ Minnesota problem.

If anyones name or entry is incorrect please log onto the Help Assist List, there you will find right at the top, a place to go and make corrections.

Thanks again everyone for your responses and participation.

Hi Gang, I didn't even know about "THE LIST". That's not surprising, I'm always the last one to know!
I just signed on, alright by me to let folks know I'm available.

To paraphrase Red Green, "If it's not broke, we're not trying hard enough yet!"

BTW, Is there a permanent link to the list on the MAK Board Home Page? If not, may I make that suggestion, for QUICK and EASY finding when you need it in a hurry?

There are alot of you out there not on the list who could sign up, if its published or not.

Someone living around Santa Nella, Ca. (out in the middle of nowhere, could probably stay pretty busy)! Even giving out local information could be a big help though.

We should use this as a membership drive for the Help/Assist List and keep it to ourselves. We are a fairly elite group, why not keep it that way.

When I signed up for H/A/L, I had in mind helping one of the other users of this board in an emergency. I guess since B/C Mag and this board are one and the same and the readership is not in the millions, you can use my info.

Is this OK with Crusin? Its his list.

I just emailed Dave to let him know our information is correct and he has our permission to publish it in Bus Conversions magazine. Our inmformation has been in the FMCA magazine since the early 90's and   we have only received a few request for help/stop-over. We have had many more guest from the Bus Conversion community, especially during the winter months. We have Cody & Libby staying here now, we had up to 8 buses here since mid December. Expecting Jerry Leibler and Nick Badame to stop by next month.  Jack

Nick,
   I don't know what your plans are, but there will be a small bus rally at the Hermann Lipizzan Farm 2/13 though 2/17 about 35 miles from our house (off SR 70 near Myakka City).  We will probably go up on Thursday 2/14.  You are welcome to join us.  Jack
