I'd be worried about the group getting too big.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we should set an upper limit on the number of racers and implement a waiting list so if anyone drops out someone else can take their place? I think we've had a few drop outs recently so, in theory, we've got space for a few more?CL Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650291635298634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-27922521927035391902007-07-04T02:20:00.000+01:002007-07-04T02:20:00.000+01:00I'm ambivalent about the size.

(As long as I don't have to post every new member's link - the link list is getting pretty long. Which reminds me. If I don't have your link, please let me know so I can update my list.)B.E.

I suspect it will find it's own level - it has been fairly constant for some time and the newcomers do bring something else with links and whatnot... <BR/><BR/>More people have fallen by the wayside than joined so I don't imagine we will ever become an out-of-control monster?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08781237143187343971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-71671098482923773742007-07-03T16:29:00.000+01:002007-07-03T16:29:00.000+01:00I like it small (I don't have time to visit everyo...I like it small (I don't have time to visit everyone daily as it is) but I also don't want to become a clique.

We all (kind of) know and trust each other already and while other people are free to read and comment on posts, perhaps the 'core' racers should stay fairly small. I'm open-minded though - will go with whatever the majority think.Lucy Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831060852859704680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-61169053373928999332007-07-03T15:09:00.000+01:002007-07-03T15:09:00.000+01:00I've been pondering much the same thing.

Maybe we could take a sort of virtual vote (does anyone knwo how to put a one of those voting polls onto here? ) for open door versus small (but perfectly formed.) <BR/><BR/>If the poll thing isn't an option than maybe we just open a post along those lines and ask people to state their preference in the comments. <BR/><BR/>What do others think?Kate.Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382512850730256227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-83010229819170138782007-07-03T14:41:00.000+01:002007-07-03T14:41:00.000+01:00Hi Zinnia, it's evolving quickly isn't it?

As a newcomer I was very pleased to be able to join the group but I guess it depends on how longer-standing members feel about expanding.Chris Stovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741359642268813093noreply@blogger.com
