Re: [TheThinkTank] 2009 bicycle plan update
We would appreciate it if biketalk could maintain their own mailing list and stop posting to TheThinkTank list as none of their posts have had ANY relevance to our organization. (The vast majority of the other posts are relevant to us.)

I disagree--I think that Bike Talk covers many topics of relevance to us, and I am happy to have them here. They have brought on their show folks from many of the organizations represented herein. I have enjoyed their shows--perhaps if you were to listen on Saturdays you might find what they do more relevant. It has been nice for me to be able to hear the voices of many of the people who participate in our ThinkTank. It makes everyone seem more real somehow! Besides--isn't it within the mission of most of our organizations to promote the bicycle culture? This is what this show does.
As for having them on a different email list--I am already on so many, that if some can be combined, that suits me just fine! Had they been on a different list, I might not have found them, and I lke the fact that they post the show topics each week. My vote is that they stay!

I agree with everything Krista said.
(Full disclosure: I've been listening to the show since before Christmas 2008, have been on the show several times, and met the folks in person.)
If you haven't heard the show, I also recommend checking it out. They have most of their older shows archived on their website. Even the stuff that's months old is still pretty relevant, and I've found it helpful to hear other people giving a similar schpiel to what I find myself giving to our volunteer staff and shop visitors on a regular basis. It gives me some perspective and allows me to hear someone else's version of something similar.

i'm sure the show's great.
but they should use their own list, and people who want to get their updates can subscribe to it.
that way, everyone can be happy.

I second that emotion. I love the thinktank emails, but cannot handle biketalk on top of that. I would like to not receive their updates. Thanks! MoBo

to the people in thinktank, sorry about the irrelevant posts. I understand your interest in not being kept updated about issues in other localities...would you be interested in a checklist of the show's topics once a week? we are trying to represent all bike collectives. One email a week would let us let you know if we are doing a good job, and allow you to chime in if you have something to add. p.s. thanks Krista and Josh, for your support! Nick, biketalk!

I personally would rather not receive announcements about localized (and not directed towards improving community bike shops as a whole) events. Yes, some of the biketalk things *have* been specifically about community bike shops but many of them are west-coast based and seem not applicable to running a CBS.
Why can't biketalk save local announcements for their own email list (which anyone can easily sign up for if they are that interested) and only post things here that are relevant to the majority of users on thinktank? What if everyone started posting information about crosswalk improvements and bike lanes in (insert your town here) to thinktank, which is essentially what that last biketalk email was? If someone needs that information, all they need to do is ask and there will be a huge thread of people sharing.
To put it in perspective, our bike project has from time-to-time been signed up without request for other CBS's email lists. Thus we get their "Volunteers needed for Friday" and "Benefit Show this Saturday" emails. While it's great to know what other people are doing, there's only so much we need or want to know.
So now we've been signed up for biketalk's email list (without asking to be), only it happens to be sent through Thinktank.
