Changes are coming to the Discussion Group

[SPDB]

Pat -
Why again was it that you deferred to Klangone over Slider8?

[Dan Kelly]

The change is a nice concept, but I feel GCA is just going to be over taken by a crowd of Smith's and Johnson's  

Yeah, I can see it now -- a whole bunch of "members" with ludicrous "names" like, say, "Hootie Johnson."

Risking banishment, I remain, as always,

Dan Kelly

[TEPaul]

Oh My God--what about Dr. Katz? What if that's not that quack's real name? It won't feel the same without that bozo on here every now and again and knowing he's always watchiing us. Of course I don't recall him ever having a thing to say about golf architecture! Matter of fact I don't think he had a thing to say about golf! I've been around here so long I even remember when he happened in here the first time. He was surfing the Internet looking for some alternative psych site when he happened on here by mistake and found so many lulus and wackos on here he decided to stay.

[Anthony_Nysse]

All in favor, say "I"!!!

[Jeff Goldman]

Jim, glad to hear you'll come back.  That makes at least 3 returnees, counting Andrew Bernstein and Tony Ristola.

Dr. Katz is the exception that proves the rule. I am in general agreement with Ran's actions, but concerned that it could blunt good input from architect staff members.

Rest assured that the timing is merely coincidental to the FCC
(Fazio Containment Crowd) crackdown on indecency.

[John Keenan]

I have been a steady lurker minimal poster on GCA.  I think Ran's changes are excellent as they will save the integrity and quality of this excellent site

Signed,

Just saw this thread; does it mean I can't use "Mr Hurricane" any longer even though I list my name at the bottom? If so, Scott Burroughs, how do I change my ID?

Hello all,

I was one of the few who were honest with who I was and where I played golf.  I didn't mind sharing my opinions on topics.....but I do mind lurkers and posters from this site contacting people I associate with in the business world (my personal secretary, friends, colleagues and board members).  Because of this, I will not participate in this forum again.

I like the aspect of real names being used.....but in my case it just added headaches to my plate.....a plate that is very full right now.  I like to play golf.  I like to play golf at wonderful venues and discuss these venues.  I do not like to get attacked and questioned about things not related to golf......ala Slider.

Hit the "profile" button (above) and you will see a box to change your display name.

[Jim Franklin]

Thanks, and Mr Hurricane is exposed

[Steve Pozaric]

Attempting to comply, I realized I need my password which I think is written down somewhere.  Until then, I will remain Stevepoz who in reality is

Steve Pozaric

As an aside, I might suggest those with well know screen names could have as a signature:  Bob Smith (f/k/a ...)

[Klaus Von Espy]

J'ai inscrit pour que je ne peux pas être le match blanc.

Je pense que c'est une bonne idée d'avoir ceci au cas où les choses changent et le site devient si dur à converser et relater avec. Grâce à John K. Kavanaugh pour son grand site et tout son travail assidu et son inquiétude sur faire qu'il améliore.

Aussitôt que je peux l'obtenir pour traduire à l'anglais, je regarderais en avant à discuter ce sujet d'architecture de golf avec vous tous!

[Brad Swanson]

How many signatures would we need to let Slag keep his moniker?  Count me as #1.

Cheers,
Brad Swanson

[Klaus Von Espy]

J'aimerais ajouter que pendant que je lis l'Atlas de Club de Golf un lot, c'est par l'avantage de mon traducteur personnel. Aujourd'hui est son jour de, et si tomrrow vient, j'essaierai d'avoir la traduit des postes pour moi.

[Slider8]

p.mucci@verizon.net is where I emailed you.  That is your email address listed in your profile.

You really should take this private pat, my email (current) is in my profile.

I would be happy to discuss this in private with you.  I refuse to make this a public spectacle, unlike you.

[herrstein]

Ran,

As a formerly more active participant who got tired of wading through the chaff, I welcome the change and applaud your noble stewardship of this resource.

Doug Stein (formerly Herrstein.)

[Jim Thompson]

Three Cheers for Ran:

Hip, Hip, Huzahh!
Hip, Hip, Huzahh!
Hip, Hip, Huzahh!

Ran:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I look forward to days free from private message explanations and constant second guessing.  Days where posts can be taken at face value.  Who knows the truth may be just around the corner…

Sincerely,

Jim Thompson

Operator, Builder, Developer, and Armchair Architect

[Bill_McBride]

Pat, I wasn't commenting on the characterizations (I've actually stopped reading most of the more bitter badinage), just the context!

[danielfaleman]

danielfaleman is Daniel F. Aleman; danielfaleman@hotmail.com

[Odd_Job]

Needed changes, love the course profiles...glad I am not the site administrator!

Since I was the first name mentioned in Ran's e-mail (Odd Job, great movie), I hope he has not singled me out for anything I had said, since my posts have been mostly deservingly unread.

John Sestak

[Carlyle Rood]

For those of you still attached to your nickname, I guess you could include it in your personal quote for the time being.  In fact, that might be a good protocol until we learn everyone's names.

[Daryl "Turboe" Boe]

Would we still be legit and allowed to use our nickname in there too.  I.E.  Daryl "Turboe" Boe was what I was going to use, but I didnt want to get cut down by the nickname police.

Waiting to hear...

[Slider8]

Klag,

Let me say up-front, that my reply to your post is in no way to be considered a flame.  My only reason for replying at all is to ask you for specific proof that I "attacked" you about anything.  Again, in an effort to keep this private, please direct email me on my profile email address.

Sorry to see that you are leaving this forum.  My questions to you regarding Cherokee were meant to establish wether or not you had actually been there (in order to answer my question relating to 12 shirts).  Unfortunatley, in the heat of battle (which you & I are both used to), I might have let Pat Mucci's enthuisiam cloud my judgement.  For that, you have my sincierst apologies.

Again, please feel free to email me directly if you want.
