With respect to all who are throwing in their two penneth re BTI being on the website or not, and those who want to stifle debate on an issue which was posted to the website with the approval of the site managers, might I post the messages from the main signon screen, to remind all what the aims and protocols are for this website?
Potential buyers of
Bushtracker Caravans
Interested in owners' experiences with their 'vans
What sort of layout/configuration/options?
What sort of towing vehicle?
Things to consider when buying
What sort of country/track can be tackled in a
Bushtracker?
Current owners of
Bushtracker Caravans
Commentary on Tips and Techniques.
Discussion of trips, routes, places to visit etc.
A
forum for communication amongst people with a common interest.
A
forum for arranging rallies etc.
The management of
Bushtracker International
A source of feedback from owners on strengths and areas for potential improvement.
A source of customer reference for potential buyers.
A
forum for communication between
Bushtracker International and
Bushtracker owners.
What does all this mean for people who use the
Forum?
It means we should present information in a positive, constructive manner.
If you've experienced problems, can you suggest a possible solution?
Respect the opinions of others.
Present commentary in a way that will invite feedback - that way, we all learn a bit more.
Recognise that, given the investment that
Bushtracker owners make, the best results will be achieved through a constructive, open dialogue between Owners and
Bushtracker International.
The more members we have in the
forum, the more we will all learn and benefit.
The points about "respecting the opinions of others", "BTI gaining feedback on areas for potential improvement" and "presenting commentary in a way that will invite feedback" seem to be forgotten from time to time.
By my commentary re Steve's responses when another point of view is expressed, I have run the risk of bordering on falling short of those protocols. If I have offended anyone by this, then I unreservedly apologise.
Steve, your contributions are of considerable value to most who read them as evidenced by the cross references on other websites. You are clearly passionate about your beliefs and maybe that passion is sometimes not shared by all.
My apologies to you personally.
