I'm having a not-good day already, so I might as well jump in with
my quite biased opinion:
> This is an announcement of a new Datsun Roadster list.
I read this announcement with disappointment. Is the current list
really too chatty for its members? Have we become a split, dysfunctional
family, each group going its own way? What happens when Alan forms
his own list and I never hear about the coming snows down under?
Or Hawaii and its 5 Roadsters forms its own group because they
don't care about us mainlanders.
For local events and news, I can see private lists. BADRoc has one.
It's used to discuss local runs, local happenings, local interest. But
any tech questions still go to the main list - the list with the body of
knowledge, expertise, experience. Now we're taking those invaluable
resources and slicing them up.
Oh well.... this list worked well for 8 years, in this electronic world
that's past forever, so I guess it's overdue for us to tear apart...
This isn't meant as a rip against someone wanting to set up their own
list. It's a much bigger issue than that.
Flame me locally, don't bother the list.
