OK guys, this is it.
My mailbox is now overflowing with trivial arcenic-laced insult trading.
It's time to purge the log of this rot.
No, censorship is not apropriate, I will simply lurk for a while. This
means I will likely not read or respond to anything on the list unless I am
in a "very good" mood. The Appearance of a nasty note will trigger my
lucas like breakdown switch and my email screen will go blank.
I am interested in talking about Triumphs. Not grammar. Not income. Not
Pebble Beach. Nor do I wish to read the same post 15 times as it seems all
replies include the original posting. Often this results in a horrible
waste of time and space. And, if the post was on any of the above
categories, a compounding of the annoyance.
For those who have questions about TR6 restorations (I've done two body
offs), GT6 (one), or wish to talk about TR3 or $a (sorry, 4A) resto's
please mail me directly. Friendly banter is OK too. I love to talk about
the snow we get! All you need to do is cc (or bcc) your message to
dterrick@pangea.ca.
The above will allow me to read what people want <me> to read and ensure
<you> of an insult free reply.
If we all did this we would have many "mini lists" and this main list would
be simply a nuisance grounds for all to dump to. I'm sure this is not why
Mark edits the list - his time is valuable too - so the above should be
considered only as a last reaort.
If I am a minority of one on this issue then only I will change my ways.
If there are others out there feeling the same as I do then maybe we will
see a change in the attitude of the list in the next week or so.
Amnesty to all those involved in any of the previous ranting,
Dave Terrick
