Some of you may have seen and found this group via a post I made
on the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup. My intent was to start a
list specific to Atlas and Craftsman users. So that techniques and
tips specific to the machines could be shared. I was hoping to
create another resource for Atlas/Craftsman users and the
invariable newbies that bought the AA machines that come along.
This is done via e-mail. As some of you know, reading a busy
newsgroup can be time consuming. Sometimes before you get a
chance to go through them, your ISP may have overwritten a
message that might have been of interest to you. (Of course there is
always Deja News). The concept of a list is to send a message
directly to those interested. You can delete, save or reply when you
are ready to.
The poster does make a good point however, the newsgroup is a
valuable source of information when it comes to generic operations
and other valuable tips. This list is not meant to replace it. Please
feel free to frequent the newsgroup. If you find some good
information that you feel will benefit this group, bring it back and
share it or bring our attention to it. If you find someone looking for
Atlas and or Craftsman information, e-mail them and invite them to
join. At this point all they have to do is send an e-mail to:
atlas_craftsman-subscribe@...
Right know, I have the list set up so that permission must be granted
to join and access it. Its the most secure way to keep the typical
unsolicited garbage out but then again, we might not see any of that.
How ever I can set it up to grant subscribership automatically. This
would be less restrictive and might encourage more users to come
and go as they wish and not seem like an "exclusive club" if you will.
What are the thoughts of our "infant" group? :-)
I'm also considering creating a page specifically for Atlas and
Craftsman machines including links to sites that anyone might come
up with.
BTW, thanks to all of you who have helped this "newbie" along.
Happy New Year to all of you!
Marty
