Master 1404 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: ongoing >> Help compile a GA FAQ This thread will be used to generate a FAQ... for those who may not know, FAQ stands for 'frequently asked questions'. In this case though, the question does not need to be frequent. Just a question that we can add to a list. Try to stay away from best this, best that.. If there are 100 options, then we can put the two or three best, but if it's highly subjective, then avoid using the term 'best'. Use terms like.. closest to, great deal, etc.. Note: If you post a question, please post an answer as well. Submit your posts in the format shown in the FAQ below. ok then.. get the Q and A's flowing. There is no limit to how many you can post. Just be sure to stick to the format, cause all the questions and answers will ultimately be condensed into one post which will require quite a bit of editing. State of Georgia - FAQ Q. Is this Forum specific to the Atlanta area, or the entire State of Georgia? WG A. Respond in any listed ride/run/swim thread that you are joining in or pmail the organizer/OP. It is better to join activities that you know are within your capabilities or where you won't be offended if others "drop" you. Obviously, "no drop" rides mean "no drop". Show up on time and call, post or pmail the organizer/OP if your status changes so that others aren't hanging around waiting on you. Q: Where can I find some good bike routes?

Master 1404 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: TOTW: Help compile a GA FAQ list Keep the FAQ posts coming. There are great examples posted already. I am placing some form of initials near the question for now to show who has posted what. Eventually those may go away, but for now, they stay. Shortly after you post, or as soon as I can get to it, your question will be moved to the FAQ, and your post deleted. That's the best way to keep this thread efficient and uncluttered. At the bottom of the FAQ, all initial contributors will be listed / credited, unless they request otherwise. |
