Let's all help out Eric! *TL*

[John W.]

Eric has started the ball rolling for us to encourage our friends to join NCRS. Now you will notice a link at the top of this page that will make it easy for YOU to get in the act. Just click on the link and see how easy it now is for you to invite a friend to join NCRS.

If you have a friend without an e-mail address just drop Eric an e-mail note, and he will be more than happy to send your friend a nice brochure explaining NCRS and how easy it is to belong.

The purpose of this entire website is to get the message out to Corvette enthusiasts that the NCRS is the finest Corvette organization in the world. Judging by the number of new members that have signed on here at the NCRS Online Store it is working. Let's make it work better yet by spreading the word to those who have not yet been invited.

If we get 100 new members in the next week, I will install an online spell checker for the Discussion Board. How about that for sticking my neck out.

So get in the act.

Re: Let's all help out Eric!

Looks cool John. I love an organization that actually gets things done instead of just talking about it. One question... will it tell whomever just who signed them up for the NCRS pep talk? B) It might make a difference which e-mail addresses I fill in there... Just Kidding!

OK I lied. Two questions... Will it do grammar too? I can only imagine what it will do to George's infamous rhyming song lyrics after a grammar checker get's through with them! That could be interesting! ~Juliet

Juliet,

No grammer checker just yet. I have to hold something back for future incentives. Besides that I haven't seen 100 new online members yet.

O.K. cousin, "YOU A BISQUIT"! The butt buttering can be done by someone else!

Varooom!

Re: Lets all help out George

Provision should be made in the new spell checker to PRESERVE George's spelling and grammar. Maybe he could be "locked out" of the loop. George's posts are classic. He's one of the few people that can write with an accent!

Varooom!

P.S. Is it cajun?

I think it's south Cleveland.

Of course I write with an accent....

I'm a D.P. (Displaced Person). I sure hope there is no grammar checker, else the computer will be busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor when checking my posts.

[George Daina]

Hey Ted, you cut that out....

You ain't me

Juliet,

I forgot part of your question on the previous post. Will the form tell the recipient who sent them the infommercial? The answer is no. At this time I did not include that feature. I wonder if it would be valuable to add? What do you think?

Re: Let's all help out Eric!

Hi John, I don't think it would hurt to let them know. I think that if there's a name someone recognizes in there that the recipient is probably more likely to read it than simply delete it with all the other "junk" e-mails. I also think it might serve to protect NCRS. The forms will only go out solicited, but I can see a situation where someone might get annoyed. However, if that same e-mail said, So and So requested that we send you this information it immediately removes any suspicion.

Take the situation where one person was sent repeated join NCRS messages over the course of a few weeks. Each was generated by a different NCRS member signing them up without knowing they had been sent the sales pitch before. We all independently thought that they would benefit by joining NCRS. If they got 5 messages with 5 DIFFERENT friends identified, they might be more likely to join.

Probably it's a total non-issue and merely my overactive imagination at work here but anyways.... since you asked. ~Juliet

Re: Let's all help out Eric!

Could help. Sometimes people tend to delete unwanted messages but if he/she see a relative/friendly name could give the message a reading.

Re: Let's all help out Eric!

I agree entirly! Some people might be thinking about joining already, and a friendly note from a real person rather then a generated advertisment might give them that extra push to go ahead and join. I know that if I got a personalized message I would have joined long ago.

P.S. The spell-checker is a great idea!

You're a redneck when..........

your 62 varoomobile, pick up truck, and other assorted projects that are parked in the front lawn, and the grass is taller than their rooflines. You're a redneck when you go to a family reunion looking for a date for the evening.
