RE: THE QUESTION OF TWO MEMBERS IN ONE FAMILIY

NightOwl · Sep 28, 2003, 07:05 PM

following is a quote from bearbaits thought-provoking thread about numbers of members.ÿ

------------------------------------------------------------------------

" I really doubt we have anywhere near 500 members, a lot of these members are husband/wife so it s counted as two members, but it s only one membership."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have wondered the same thing over the weeks since the new board came into existence, and I am sure many others have also. So please post here if you are a person who signs in under your own screen name AND your spouse or significant other also has their own separate screen name here as part of a single membership, or you know of someone who fits this category in case they dont see this question..

It will be fun to see how many such memberships we have even though this is merely a straw poll and not official.

NightOwlMy DH hasn t registered with the board because he doesn t need to, Whenever he has any camping related problems he says, " What do all your friends say I should do about this?" And I come to the board and ask. (He s either very smart or very dumb to let me be in charge, but hey, it works for us.)

NightOwlI have had the privilege of getting to know Toni s DH as a good friend (and in this case it DOES stand for Darling) and let me tell you, he does NOT do this because he is dumb![

NightOwlNightowl, In case you missed it, Dave responded to how many actual memberships there are. He broke down the stats to show paying members, memberships that are spouses, etc... in the infamous Bearbait thread.

Miss-Teri · Feb 24, 2003, 09:14 AM

NightOwlMy DH has yet to post here, but his " name" is CampG.

Oh, and btw Steve, you re in trouble for that little e-mail comment, no matter how funny hubby thought it was... [: (] [

NightOwlFF_EMT and I are two members in one family! I m very thankful Dave only charged one membership fee because at the time we signed up it was all we could afford. I think the reason the Campfire gets more posts right now is due to the fact that a lot of us have met eachother at rallys, etc. We know each other! And on the other board, if I remember, if you didn t put a " O/T" before an off-topic subject you really got it! A lot of other members really got miffed at posts not related to camping- but that s how people get to know eachother!! If we have a camping question, it now has it s own section! I love this! I let DH deal w/ questions about stabilizers, weight, awnings, etc. That part of camping is something he s into - I need info on kids, cooking, things to do, etc. I think this board is set up GREAT!

QuoteDo you remember how fast the thread that you really wanted everyone else to see and comment on would disappear to the next page, and you had to constantly bump things to bring them back?

I love the fact that I don t have to fish through things I don t have an interest in! I do look through the other sections to see if I can offer any useful advice, but most times I think, " DH could answer that really well" [

Andrea, this whole post is great and I agree with your remarks about how nice the new board organization is, but I kept just the first line because YOU all by yourself are TWO MEMBERS right now even without Lee!!!

NightOwlFor what it is worth, there are 18 members out of the 510 or so members
that are second memberships in the same household.

Sheesh, all ya had to do was ask.

NightOwlI am not at all concerned about how many members we have (well, as long as there are some to exchange information and to learn from).

Can we please drop this subject, let it go and help me with my tent purchase ? [

Yes, Steve, but if I had just asked YOU, then this thread would have been over amd would not have added to the total number of posts for the board and it would have been even slower moving than it is. [

Besides, it s fun to know WHO is both members here, not just the total number[

gsm x2 · Feb 26, 2003, 07:06 AM

NightOwlgsm x2 is the hubby and original member
G-Whiz is the wifey, who saw how much fun DH was having on the boards and who has a GREAT TIME at all the NNC weekends, so she asked for her own screen name.

Works out great and we knew we were rather unique, but being only 1 of 18 is kind of a surprise.
