Mark,
Thanks for keeping team.net going all these years and providing a way =
for people to stay in touch and find parts and advice for their weird =
car projects. I first joined the rec.autox usenet group in the late =
80=E2=80=99s, when it seemed like a miracle to be able to post a message =
and get a reply back from someone on the other side of the continent, in =
just hours!
In some ways it=E2=80=99s more of a challenge now because there are many =
regional groups that each have their own online community, and it=E2=80=99=
s pretty much impossible to keep tabs on all the different forums, and =
Facebook groups.
That=E2=80=99s why I=E2=80=99ll be sticking around here as long as you =
keep the lights on.
Cheers,
Theo
