Sorry Guys (hate to get drawn into this, but there are people outside the
USA!!!)
As a UK lister, I joined this list for the amazing informative information it
has provided in the restoration of my Bj8, and for that I thank everyone one
who has provided help over the years.
But since I live in the UK I couldn't give a toss who is running in the US
elections (and if I did I wouldnt be posting about it on a British car
forum!), and whilst I dont mind the odd friday funny even these are clogging
up the list. It seems to me that over 70% of the emails I know get from the
list are from funnies/political/or promoting goods or business. It has started
to get a pain in tagging all the rubbish and deleting it (and some may say
just delete them, but again its not the odd one a day, its the majority) and
whilst I admit I do need, and like any help the list provides, I for one are
seriously thinking of leaving.
If you start a monday political note, someone will always have to have the
last word, and it will go on for ever!!!
After several years as a UK member of the Uk Austin Healey club (sorry but its
proberly another debate) I cancelled my membership after seeing the magazine
full of pictures of guys in there 50's having a club lunch, and the same
advert from every supplier every month. A few of us members started a letter
trying to promote the technical / restoration / and running of a Healey
instead of the follow up on the lunches, treasure hunts etc but it fell on
deaf 50 year old ears of guys just going on Sunday jaunts.
PLEASE DONT GO THE SAME WAY!
sorry for the soap box, but my view, just this once
lets get back to the healeys
Andy
