Thanks, Mark. I joined the new Spitfire list. I'll stick with the
Triumph list to see how things work out. I would enjoy seeing fewer
messages although I enjoy some of the technical discussions of the the
TRs. My only comment is on the list name. Maybe it should be called the
Spt/GT6 list.
See ya'll on the new list.
