Grex Inbetween Item 26: New FairWitness needed
Entered by scg on Fri May 12 00:44:24 UTC 1995:

Carson says he no longer wants to be a co-fairwitness of this
conferences.  I don't want to be the sole fairwitness around here.  Are
there any volunteers to replace Carson as co-fairwitness?

eeyore said in mail that she was willing to take over as fw, so I've sent
mail to cfadm asking them to add her.

I won't volunteer for two reasons, this is the most boring
shit i've ever read in my life, two, someone already applied
god forbid you people have something interesting to say...

I'm sorry you feel that way, howy. Your attitude isn't exactly a
productive one as far as making things interesting to you, and slamming
those who still have the energy to try and make a change isn't going to
help either. 

I doubt you looked at this conference just to flame two of the kindest
people I know. You were hopefully looking for something that interested
you, maybe something specific? Why didn't you enter an item about it?

thank you for entering that, carson...i was trying to think up a nice way
to reply to that.

howy: honestly...this is a free place...read what you want to read, don't
read what you don't want to read.  but please don't sit there and read what
you don't want to read, and then complain about it, since you had the
coie of what to read anyway!  :)

I've been procrastinating on this for a while, but it's time for me to stop
being an FW here.  As anybody looking over the last several months of activity
(or lack thereof) in this conference would be able to tell, it's been being
neglected, and now that activity is picking up again I really don't have time
to start doing FW stuff on it again.  Besides, I've been doing this since the
beginning of this conference's predicessor, the GenX conference, and it's
really time for somebody else to have a turn at it.  Is anybody interested?

The job of FW really doesn't take much:
-being an active participant in the conference and encouraging discussion.
-linking items when needed (and probably keeping an eye out for stuff to link)
-maintaining the login, logout, and rc files, or deciding to leave them alone

(meg wonders what the login, logout and rc files are.....:)

#9 of 11 by scg on Tue Apr 16 04:01:02 1996:

The login file is what you see when you enter a conference.  The logout is
what you see when you leave it, and the rc is a bunch of PicoSpan commands
that are run when you enter a conference.  Type "display login" to see the
login file, "display logout" to see the logout file, etc.  eeyore and whever
replaces me can also type "change" followed by the file name to change the
file.
