[aprssig] In a nutshell?

[A.J. Farmer]

But there are already sites out there that recommend bad paths!  And the sad
thing is, it is easier to find those sites than it is to find and join this
list which is the best source of correct information about APRS.  The signup
page for this list on the TAPR site hasn't worked for months.  

Has anyone looked at Bob's website guestbook lately?  It mostly contains
entry after entry of "hey, I'd like to use APRS, but I don't know what to
do"?  The link to add to the guestbook is near the bottom of the page, so
these people must be wading through all the information available but still
aren't finding the answers.  There is a link to TAPR about joining this
list, but guess what, IT DOESN'T WORK!  I have mentioned the problem here
before, I have e-mailed the TAPR webmaster directly, but yet it falls on
deaf ears.

How can we educate people about how to do things right, if we can't even get
the message out!?!

Getting down from soapbox now. ;-)

73!

Right.  My personal theory is that if someone put up an "APRS web page" 
that had five WIDEs (or even five RELAYs) as an example of "how to make 
sure you show up on findu", it wouldn't take too long for us to see 
this on RF.  I hate to even put this in a message to the list, because 
a google will find it in the list archives.

Yep, and that's what started me down this twisty little path.

Hey, there are days I wish for my Commodore 64 back.
