LCC Members

Perhaps I am being harsh on Charlie but your response here is much more convincing. If the LCC thinks getting involved in London's main cycling forum is a waste of time then it is failing to understand how people get, and discuss, information these days.

Nobody who's very active in the LCC thinks that, Will. (I obviously can't speak for every member.) There have been quite a few cross-collaborations. Staffers and volunteers read the forum and enjoy much of it, too. I'm always telling LCC people to get on the forum. The LCC still hasn't managed to introduce a forum not through lack of wanting but through certain other complicated obstacles, but I hope that it'll happen, perhaps when Microcosm is ready to go. Then not only will LCC people find it easier to keep abreast of LCC business, but others, including more forumengers, will hopefully also be able to more easily join LCC discussions (the current set-up still mostly uses antiquated Yahoogroups, which aren't very accessible). It is certainly true that the communication situation is far from ideal at the moment.
