<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I am not an old timer on the Triumph list, I think I
started on it a year or so after I got my TR250 in 2008. It does seem as
though traffic is down, actually I think activity is down on the other Triumph
place a frequent, British Car Forum. Unfortunately if things slow down too
much either everybody leaves or most leave but a hard core few. I know Kas
Kastner has a forum that is pretty slow, and I think six pack has one two.
If you have to wait a day or two before you maybe get an answer to a question
you are probably going to look elsewhere.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I do have to say that I don't think the long term
prognosis looks that good. I know there are people younger than me on the
list and on BCF, but when I go to my local club events I am, at 53, almost
always one of the youngest if not the youngest guy there, we did have one
college kid in the club a couple years ago, but he is gone, and other than that
there are maybe 1 to 3 at the most couples/members in out 150 member
multi-marque British car club younger than me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I think the Healey list is a little more active, I still
lurk there after selling my 100. I don't know what the answer is, adding
picture capability certainly bumped up activity for a while (and temporarily
overloaded my inbox!) but seems that was a flash in the pan.</FONT></DIV>

then I was using a 128K Mac with terminal emulation software connected to a
HP Mini in HP Labs. HP Labs was directly connected to the
backbone. I was using Elle software on UNIX to post. Glad those
days are over. No more UNIX shell commands or

<DIV>I remember those days, you had to give our your email address relative to
a well-known backbone site. For example, when I started at HP, my email
was !hplabs!hpda!hpesoc1!dwalker. You would find maps that listed all of
the major backbone sites and how they were connected, then you could construct
route for your email message.</DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE>That's interesting. In
