Richard,
As someone with aspirations of only driving my Spitfire locally for the
sheer pleasure of it, I'm not even really sure how relevent NASS will be for
me personally, given my driving habits and desire to stay local. THIS list
on the other hand, is completely INDISPENSIBLE from my perspective.
By the way, should the Squadron desire another venue to discuss their
business without flooding this list, I just want you all to know that I
already have a permanent Spitfire message board set up on my page that so
far, is receiving very little use and is yours for the taking.
http://www.ohms.com/cgi-bin/spitforum.cgi
I have done nothing to promote the existence of this forum, primarily out of
respect for this list and other Spitfire forums that were established
previously -- however -- if an alternative is desired, I would be more than
happy to festoon my forum page with NASS logos and other markings if such a
venue is desired or needed. I've got the bandwidth and a great interface
with advanced archive search features that might come in handy for someone.
Or not. My whole point is that it's there if NASS -- or any other Spitfire
fans wants to make use of it.
Best wishes,
Jeff in San Diego
'67 RHD Spitfire Mk3 aka "Mrs. Jones"
