Something Very Important Y'All Should Read

[vintageshavingshoppe]

This isn't about knives, which means that this is exactly the wrong place for this posting. However, this is the most VIEWED area and since this is about our members, I believe it deserves a lot of folks looking at it.

A number of our members (I don't know how many exactly and the ones I do know, I won't name) are out of work. We all know that the economy sucks and we also know that a man just doesn't feel good about himself when he is WILLING and ABLE to work, but cannot find a job. There are lots of people here on AAPK, which means that we have a very large network - people who know places, and people who know people. Those of us with jobs can lend a helping hand to those without them by helping them get a foot in the door at companies across America.

What I propose is a top level discussion group on the website (which means it isn't buried on page 55) where people can post jobs they know of from their companies, people who are looking can post their qualifications and maybe even resumes, connections can be made and even a place where people can share ideas for getting by with less. This type of effort is the very essence of what it means to be a "community."

Well I'm not gonna keep talking, I throw the idea out there for public consumption and to see if there are a number of other "regulars" on here who think the idea ain't half bad.

Well, it seems that folks are in agreement that this is an idea working looking at. Now who would need to be involved to make it happen?

I would suggest you contact Bryan Sanders, owner of this site, and request he create a new forum here on AAPK for this exchange of information. Bryan is always open for suggestions on how to improve this site and make it better for those of us who utilize it. However please understand that he can't always do anything and everything he is asked to do.

NOT everyone can see that. LOL They can see the info but it only pertains to their IP, ISP, and operating System.

Now that you've told us you're running VISTA, I suggest counseling. LMAO.

Ol' Billy sure didn't get that mess right. It's on my wife's computer and I guarantee that if it were on mine, this thing would be out in the yard.........

It took me a couple of years to move from WIN2K Pro to XPpro.
