cycle forum corporate policies?

The cycle forum I attend has decided we want some corporate policies,
so that if one of teh key members is asked to express a view on
something (cyle tracks, say), he (a female has not attended any of our
meetings in living memory) at least knows what teh consensus view of
teh group is, on either the specific topic, or at least related or
similar topics.

I have been charged to create a list of teh key issues (ie, what we
are going to have views / policies on). Then we need to reach
agreement on them, but that's for the future.

Does anyone else know of a forum with anything similar? I'm quite
happy to plagiarise to save me work!

Alternatively, what should be on teh list (I'm quoite happy for you
lot to do my work for me), or is teh whole notion a very bad idea?

The things that spring to mind immediately a
+ off-road cycle tracks
+ on-road cycle lanes
+ traffic calming
+ the h-word

Well one approach is to agree on a set of resources (information resources)
that you can point people to and let them make their own mind up. Obviously
the resources should be well-balanced and credible - make integrity your
friend....

Don't let wkaners who think misspelling "the" is cute represent the
forum. It isn't clever, it isn't funny. It gives the impression that
all cyclists are nerds.

Try to "move on" as our great leader Mr. Blair would say.

Thank you for your useful and productive contribution.

Two questions:
1: Do you think spelling flames are a useful contribution to usenet?
2: Why did you decide to attack me?

Maybe it wasn't meant as an attack. Misspellings rankle me too.

Whilst spelling flames add little constructive to usenet, poor
proof-reading can make useful constructive words appear amateurish and
unprofessional.

My 5p worth...

Snipped the rest because of not wanting to get involved in other issues,
but I don't accept that was a spelling flame by Peter Fox. That would
have involved picking up a spelling mistake in the sense of either a
random typing error or ignorance of correct spelling.

I've seen enough of your posts to know that neither explanation is
applicable. You type "teh" in place of "the" deliberately, for reasons
that must be sufficient to you, and spelling has nothing to do with it.
It is more like the habit some people have of inserting a foreign word
into conversation where an ordinary native word would be expected and
would serve perfectly well, though few people would substitute another
word for one as ubiquitous as "the".

Well I'm gald tehre's all these people that know better than me teh
reasons why I do something.

****-brain-Peter (see, I can be gratuitously abusive too, though in my
case there was some provocation. I'm still not sure what good it
achieves, however) knows I do it because I think it's cute.

You know I do it deliberately.

My opinion on teh matter of something that I do is clearly
superfluous. Perhaps you could explain to me what my opinion is on
everything else, too? Obviously, you know oh so much better than me,
so I'm all agog to find out what I think, please tell.

I agree. I too use 'teh' and 'taht a lot, and I also miss capital
letters (I think it has something to do with being a two-fingered
typist.
It irritates me taht I do so, so I try and correct them, but I won't
take the care I do when dealing with printed publications.
I look on it that usenet is like speech - count teh errors as errs and
umms and stutters.

Life is far too short to spend time correcting spelling errors on usenet.

And yes, that 'teh' above was completely accidental.

Silly me - taking being called a ****** as an attack, how could I have
been so foolish?

Why didn't he say "I say, I find that mis-spelling annoying, can you
try and avoid doing it" rather than calling me a ****** and ascribing
motive to it?

Here's a secret - I do take offence when people call me a ******.
Wouldn't you?

When the writer can't be bothered giving even the most rudimentary
once-over to their contribution, it leads me to wonder whether I should
bother reading it.
