Membership Renewal 2011
At the beginning of August 2009, the Syncro_T3_Australia group underwent an extensive reorganization, the principal feature of which was the requirement for all members to re-register. This had been made necessary by the presence on the membership list of anonymous traders who were using the group for free advertising to a captive audience. The membership list was also thickly populated with anonymous members of whom we knew nothing.

Syncro_T3_Australia is a mutual technical support and advice group which has no need of anonymous members or anonymous traders. It is a lot easier to give support and advice when we know whom we are supporting so we asked all members to identify themselves and establish their bona fifes. The new membership requirements rectified that. The anonymous traders disappeared overnight and every member on the list is now known.

To maintain this, memberships will be confirmed each year. (I intended to call for renewals in August 2010 but difficult personal circumstances made this impossible.)

At that time, the choice of free internet groups was very limited and I went with the most widely used, which was Yahoo. The Yahoo format is a bit on the clunky side but has served us well over these years.

Hi Les

Confirming Mark Thornley, Somerset, England would like to remain a
member of the list.

Many thanks to you all for the assistance posted over the years - it was
a great help in preparing our Syncro for its overland trip from England
to East Timor two years ago. Shame we didn't get it into Australia, but
we still have plans to correct that at some point - though probably not
until we retire in 2025!
