Z Factor (Jim),

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this thread.

Thank you for spending the time and effort to be the administrator of the ZR-1 Net Registry Forum. And thank you to Dave, Larry and Dayrll for being moderators and devoting so much of their time as well.

I am very pleased to a member of the ZR-1 Net Registry and to have this Forum to participate in. I am pleased with the way the forum is run. I do have suggestions that I think will improve the forum:

I work hard to promote local events to encourage area ZR-1 owners to participate. In the regional section of the Forum, we post a lot of links to area shows. Check out thread numbers 9953, 9753, 9231, 8408, and 8472 as examples. The regional section of Corvette Forum has a lot of car show and events listed but since I can't post links to them, it is cumbersome to have to copy and duplicate all of the show info and contact points. Please remove the prohibition on linking to the Corvette Forum.

I think it would improve the Forum if members would fill out their biographical data. It think that it would be reasonable to require that at least a first name and location be displayed for all forum members. I can't see how that would compromise any personal security and it would help the Forum be a friendlier place. Since we are a fairly small group of people spread over a wide geographical area, we need all the help we can muster to get to know one another. A new owner posted recently with a problem with the ZR-1 he had just bought. Because he had filled out his location in his bio, I knew that he was very near one of our active members and they got hooked up to work on the problems. If some one wants to be on our Forum and isn't willing to provide a first name and a location, why do we want them here?

There should be a ZR-1 Net Registry members-only section of the Forum. I know that Dave has been working on it and I appreciate that.

I think the Forum should have a section devoted to NCRS. Many ZR-1 owners and members of the Net Registry participate in the NCRS program and there are some ZR-1 unique issues that would be appropriate to discuss on our Forum.

Thanks for listening,

Jim Voter
