   I know I will miss out if the list changes, and the spitfires end up
having their own list.  Having two spitfires and a GT6+, I may not really
care about the various paint codes for a '74 TR6, or the correct color for a
TR4 hood brace, but it's all Triumph stuff, and I learn a lot, and if I
don't want to read the various threads, I just skim past them.  Having the
digest helps for this.  

  Nw, I going to sound like a crochety old grump (which my wife would agree
me me here ;^), but I remember when the list encompassed *ALL* british cars.
There were MG owners, Healy folks, a Cobra guy, and others.  We all shared
the same thing: driving and using cars that were just a little off-beat.  It
was the same feeling as when you wave at another LBC driver, regardless of
make.

As the internet progresses, and things get more fragmented, I fear this list
will do the same, and we'll all miss out, either subscribing to all the
lists (back to where we started), and just choosing a small niche, and
losing sight of the other folks out there doing the same things.

I know, I know, 2 cents isn't worth as much as it used to be.
