T3: RE: Web Site Help List

["Taylor, Jeff" <JTaylor1@cpm.dot.state.nj.us>]

Well.....just to put my 2 pennies in, this seems like a fantastic idea.
My only concern with the idea is with the VW Type3 geniuses we have in
this group(answer guys).  I'm pretty new at the vw thing....and I have
lots of questions, and I would not want to be the person.....in my
area.....that has to deal with me and everyone else in my area.  This
group we are in....is loaded with nice, talented, very honest helpful
individuals, but it might not be fair to burden them specifically when
there are 20 others who can answer there questions.  

The part about helping another fellow vw friend in your area is
great......I'm talking about the hands on kind.  I'd much prefer to meet
another enthusiast in person....then to bother them all day by e-mail.  

I'm probably making no sense at all.....but I just wanted to voice my
concern that the answer man is not your personal mechanic.  He can sure
help you.....but he can't build your car for you.

Another good thing like Damian said was.....finding out  there are other
Type3ers in your area.  When I heard that there was a Connecticut show
and at this time they are expecting 30 + Type 3's, I was beyond happy to
find out that 2 hours away where 30 cars.

Sorry for the negativity.....really....I'm not that bad.  I smile all
day long every day.

	I can't wait for this list to get up and running just to find
out just who
	is out there! I've been on the list for over six months now and
only found
	out yesterday that I'm less than 20 minutes away from another
listee. I
	found this out by accident after reading the "Wanted" section in
the
	Classifieds.

	I think we should arrange the Help List as follows ( an example)
:-

	1. A section for each country with list members in it
	2. followed by a list of states (USA definitely/UK
possibly/countries with
	fewer members excepted)
	3. followed by a list of towns/cities of listees
	4. Finally a list of the willing parties with all their details
much as Jake
	Kooser described:-
	Name(Mandatory), EMail address(Mandatory), Normal address
(optional), City
	(Mandatory), Home&Work phone numbers(optional),  then a list of
what you can
	offer to fellow list members

	The layout would look like this:-

	-1 (Country)
	   -2 (State)
	      -3 (Town/City)
	          -4 (Listee)
	          -4
	          -4
	      -3
	          -4
	          -4
	          -4
	      -3
	          -4
	          -4
	          -4
	-2
	      -3
	          -4
	          -4
	          -4
	      -3
	          -4
	          -4
	          -4
	      -3
	          -4
	          -4
	          -4

	I hope you get the general idea

	The Registry should be a completely seperate thing , a record of
listees
	cars, specs, model, etc, plus maybe some personal details and a
photo of
	listees car( with listee in picture an option).

	Can anyone add anything or suggest a different approach?
