Title: A Newbies Discovery in Clusterville
Post by dellp on Jun 25th, 2003, 12:43am
My apologies to those here because of my post in the “What’s wrong…” string.

Originally, I was going to post about raising money for OUCH and one possible strategy to use those funds; but now I realize this is not the place to pursue that.

Thanks to Donna’s post in the other string, I finally woke-up and explored the OUCH website. Thanks Donna, a real eye opener; one that others may need to experience.

When I found CH.com I was early in a cycle and pretty much overwhelmed with it all. For over a month I was on the mb’s for at least 2 hours a day, sometimes as much as six hours and more (even though it triggered some nasty bouts with the Beast.) CH.com is where I got the links for O2, pages to print for my doctor, pages to print for my employer. Everything I needed was right here. OUCH was just another website and I did little more take a fast look at it - THIS is where the (inter)action is and that’s what I was here for. -  -  - Wrong again, chief.  :o

OUCH is the nuts and bolts behind CH.com and I didn’t know that. Being a member of OUCH allows me access to the inner workings that I had not really thought about. Being a member here does not carry over, each group requires separate membership.

I suspect I am not alone in this oversight. C’mon newbies, fess up - how many of you made the same mistake as me? (I might be in real deep doo-doo here if no one responds!!!) If you did make this same mistake I urge you to fix it now. And as a matter of fact, it wouldn’t hurt to make a donation, either. Mine is in the envelope and ready to go.

So that’s about it for now. I’m off to la-la land.
(Sorry to disappoint all my 'fans')   ;)

PFDAN to all,
Dell

Thanks Dellp.

You're right.  This is the place to socialize.  OUCH is the place to "work" on solving the cluster mystery.

If you haven't joined, you suck!

If you have ideas for projects that OUCH could form teams to work on, jump on the OUCH Bussiness Board and offer them up (know that we will take your idea as an offer to run with the idea).

Sit around and feel sorry for yourself or do something about these damn headaches.  Your choice.

Very good post dellp, and probably right on the money about it being a difficult discovery.

It would be hard for the newby to understand, and focus on the difference between OUCH and ch.com at first glance.  

Thanks

Ditto BobP

Dell know what OUCH needs more than fund raising?

Idea raising!

I urge everyone here to read the mission statement of OUCH. Are we accomplishing the mission? Should the mission change? Let us know.
