I have to agree with Dean. Although I'm in the US, I'm not really hot on
the idea of joining another club. Nothing against clubs, I just don't have
the time available right now to get involved.
However, this list has been great as I've learned quite a bit from other
folks experiences and even tracked down a few hard to find parts. To me,
the benefits of the list outweigh the hassle of extra e-mails that I'm not
interested in. For that reason, I'll stay on the list even though I'm not a
NASS member.
The real goal as I understand it is to get the NASS info out to the people
who want it. May I make a couple of suggestions?
- Approach Team.net to build a NASS list in addition to the Spitfire list.
It's a pretty simple thing to do and that way people could subscribe to one
or both as they may be so inclined.
- Include a trailer on your non NASS e-mails that advertise its existence.
This way, anyone new to the list will discover you and be able to join.
- If you have to use the list for NASS, please put NASS in the Subject line.
Those not interested can delete them or set up a filter to scratch them
before they are downloaded or read.
I'm sure we can find a way to meet the goals of all Spitfire owners/drivers
who use this list without excessively burdening those not particularly
interested in NASS.

Guys+Gals,
I've said this before, but probably didn't come straight to the point, so
this
time I will. I think the concept of the NASS is great, but please *don't*
use
the list as an official forum for it!
Since I live in the UK, I will not be involved in the NASS, and do not need
to
receive masses of e-mail about it. The level of mail I've been receiving
has
roughly trippled since the idea of the NASS was conceived, and unfortunately
I
simply don't have time to wade through all this. I'd hate to have to leave
a
resource as great as this list, but I may be forced to unless the NASS can
find
somewhere else to discuss it's business.
Again, it's a great idea, and I wish everyone who is involved in it luck in
setting it up and getting it going. But please spare a thought for us
non-American listers too!
Hopefully,
Dean
