This Is Going To Be The Death Of Us!

Volunteers wouldn't have to be put in the most demanding skill level or dangerous positions necessarily. That said, I'm sure there are those who have many hours in the seat of a fork lift, even up to the seat of a yard tractor (semi), or anything in between. I'm sure there are those that are expert at driving a broom or mop too, or even know how to do anything from operating a grease gun to keeping up with the lbs of scrap going out the gate to keeping a running inventory of tires. We could get excited about this thing!

I think that is a wonderfully "Utopian" Idea, and would love to see it work. I tend to agree with LIL4X, tho. Too many "opportunists" out there. Even volunteers would need "background checks" (weed out the some of the "slip and fall" experts, corporate spies, saboteurs) just to make sure people are qualified to do...whatever. Then "insure" everybody.

How would Elio be able to differentiate the volunteers from people wanting to rip-off stuff or cause havoc? Too many bad peole out there for Elio to take the chance.

If we had enough unpaid volunteers, Elio could certainly afford to employ legit security guards to watch the rest of us.

Well Wheaters, if it does go south (no offense to our southern state members), we already have a support group in place. We'll just change the name of the forum to Elios Anonymous and pretend like they're still going to build it. Denial can take you a long way if you work at it long enough!

Hi everyone...time to stop lurking.

I am a retired therapist. I will be glad to facilitate the group if "THAT" happens. Withdrawal is ugly.

We are 16-18 months away from getting our cars. There are 2000 members on this site. Say 20 (10%) are very active. Monitoring all of the posts through the feed, responding to posts and questions, starting new threads, etc... 18 months at this intensity level is going to kill me! I can't soak up enough of this information! I monitor at work, I check the feeds when I get home. A couple of times in the evening and weekends. Before I go to bed.

I'm doomed...

THAT'S WAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!!! We're all doomed!

Shooooot; solving this is going to take some serious Tequila.

Cursing is not allowed on this forum... where are the moderators when you need them. Can't they read what you wrote????

Try this binary converter for the techonolgically challenged like me.
