If you want to be known as GMC2000, that is fine with me, but the lack of a filled in sigfile will be an inconvenience to the those in group that might choose to try to offer assistance. Without knowing who you are, what your coach is or where you are, it is a little difficult. And, yes, there is a lot of trust that happens in this community. It is great that way.
I guess that this is just a friendlier group than most that you know. But part of our problem is that it is truly international and not even just North American. We have had four flags at a convention.
The auto-log always happens with me with any of my devices because I always open the site with the same browser and they are all synced for logins.
In complete honesty, being in the registry will hopefully be of no value to you. We keep that so there is a record of where coaches are and who the current owner is. If the coach will never be lost, stolen or sold, then there is no concern at all. As is, I can call the man that has the registry and ask for the owner of any VIN I come across. This is a help if someone I know is buying a coach in a closed sale. Someone known to me may be able to supply some history that has importance. It is also nice to be able to tell a perspective supplier that there are X-many coaches still in use. There were two incidents that I was involved in. Both were sales from estates. One was picked up by an acquaintance at way less than current value because I was able to offer an informed opinion as to its true condition. Another was just the opposite. The heirs were convinced that they had valuable item that was not. I was able to advise a buyer to pull back.
It is unlikely that the moderator of anybody else will chime in. We are currently in "Sandbox" which is a section that is left open for people to try out posting and look at how the sigfile publishes. Most members never even look here, and the e-mail readers can even see it without opening the forum with a browser.
Well, I have work to do and other people to annoy.
I wish you luck and I do hope we meet at a convention/rally at some point.
