[Healeys] what is happening to the HEALEY list?????

I could not have said it better than Andy and Rich.  After only a few of the Friday ???, my "delete" button gets well exercised.

Andy, you are one of the reasons I stay with this list, namely to share, learn, and help inform where possible all the things we run into in 
restoring our Healeys. If you leave, this list will be one step closer to me leaving too.Come on guys, let's get back to Healey matters......period!

Sorry Guys (hate to get drawn into this, but there are people outside the USA!!!)  As a UK lister, I joined this list for the amazing informative information it has provided in the restoration of my Bj8, and for that I thank everyone one who has provided help over the years.

But since I live in the UK I couldn't give a toss who is running in the US elections (and if I did I wouldnt be posting about it on a British car forum!), and whilst I dont mind the odd friday funny even these are  clogging up the list. It seems to me that over 70% of the emails I know get from the list are from funnies/political/or promoting goods or business. It has started to get a pain in tagging all the rubbish and deleting it (and some may say just delete them, but again its not the odd one a day, its the majority) and whilst I admit I do need, and like any help the list provides, I for one are seriously thinking of leaving.

  If you start a monday political note, someone will always have to have the last word, and it will go on for ever!!!

After several years as a UK member of the Uk Austin Healey club (sorry but its proberly another debate) I cancelled my membership after seeing the magazine full of pictures of guys in there 50's having a club lunch, and the same advert from every supplier every month. A few of us members started a letter trying to promote the technical / restoration / and running of a Healey instead of the follow up on the lunches, treasure hunts etc but it fell on deaf 50 year old ears of guys just going on Sunday jaunts.

PLEASE DONT GO THE SAME WAY!  sorry for the soap box, but my view, just this once lets get back to the healeys
