[RC]   The Power of Ridecamp - kathy . mayeda
 
I've been on Ridecamp for a few years now, and have 
been part of many flame wars.  I used to assume that 
everyone in endurance is reading Ridecamp.  
I have tried to talk to my endurance buddies at my barn 
about my flame wars with TI and a few other topics, but 
most of them don't even have a clue about what I'm 
talking about and don't really care. And I'm talking 
about endurance riders from FEI level to newbies. They 
are too busy training their horses and trying to make 
ends meet to do what they love.
Don't get me wrong.  A week without peeking into the 
archives is very rare for me.  I love reading what 
the "back East" people are ranting and raving about.  
Meanwhile back at the ranch, we are preparing to do our 
winter night rambles thru the woods to keep our horses 
conditioned.  I'm the "lazy" one of the bunch that 
foregoes consistent conditioning, burning the midnight 
oil at my "real" work, putting out the local endurance 
club newsletter, and logging onto Ridecamp.
Ride on, folks.  It takes all types of folks to make 
the world go around, and Ridecamp is just a small slice 
of the AERC membership.  The power or Ridecamp can't be 
discounted but it can be over-rated.
I, myself, been letting it be my forum for making my 
voting decisions.  Been too lazy to think about it on 
my own for the moment.  (Or just too burned out.)
