For those of you who have been following the unfortunate course of the Thread “Hoover 69”, you will notice that it has been deleted. This thread took an unfortunate turn and deteriorated into disrespectful and unprofessional behavior. MAKE NO MISTAKE – this type of behavior will not be tolerated while I am the webmaster. I will not allow this site to suffer the fate of some of the other sites and it will be kept an open forum. The membership clearly voted for an open forum and until the next meeting when this can be brought up again by the membership, it will remain open. It will also remain a civil place. To that end, I will take the following steps to keep this a friendly place where visitors can share their interest in vacuum cleaners without fear of attack or retribution. For the first instance of disrespectful behavior, an email notice will be sent to the involved posters that their behavior is less than dignified and to cease and desist. If this behavior is repeated or continues, the offenders will be banned from the site. Period. No jury trial, no appeals, no reinstatement. Sorry for the hard line guys, but I expect everyone to treat each other here with dignity and respect. I am sure that there are many folks out there watching what is happening here to see if they wish to join. This type of ugly behavior will not encourage people to join in. The club made an investment in this site, and I am going to protect that investment. | ||

Another Thank You
Fred, As the VP of the club more than anything when this sort of thing happens, I find it saddening. Supposedly, we are all here because of an interest in vacuum cleaners, either vintage or newer. It brings shame and embarrassment upon the whole club when a few post inappropriately. Fortunately, the majority of the club are great folks that support one and other. I hope that we can continue to move forward in that spirit. Let's put a period at the end of this sentence and move on. Fred sent me a great TriStar and I will be posting pictures of it soon. Those are really great vacuums. Today, I worked on a Filter Queen Majestic. Another great vacuum but that power head is so big and clunky. What were they thinking when that came down from the drawing board? I much prefer the smaller ones from the earlier models that are more maneuverable. I know there is a relatively new model out but I have yet to see it. Does anyone know if it is direct connect yet? And if so, are there pictures on a site somewhere? | ||

I'm glad I joined now but when it was on that other site and closed to non-members it would be like buying a pig in a poke and I didn't want to risk wasting my money. So what did I end up with "The Adventures of Ida and Helen, tales from the dark side! " lol | ||

Thank you, Fred
I appreciate you pulling that thread, and setting appropriate boundaries for postings. I agree with you 100% that we need to treat each other with dignity, respect, and civility. We also need to remember that we're here because of our common interest in Vacuum Cleaners and the friendship and fellowship of those who share that interest. And thank you Fred, for protecting these interests. Jeff | ||
