Mr Jon Ovington,
I am very sorry to have upset you. However I know of certian web sites that
you linked to with out permission. I also saw some pictures on your site
that were also taken, without permission.
Just seems funny your trying to generate content from people that are using
the ozdat mailing list because they
found it on the OZDAT website, therefore they must have decided to join the
'OZDAT mailing list as they thought it may be useful. You don't see the
Adelaide 1600 club advertising on the OZDAT list for feature cars.
I think you site is fine and there are some wicked cars. There is also some
useful stuff there as well which is not on the ozdat site. Good on you for
making you own website. I would argue about the page linking but you MUST
have been given permission to link to them so I will not.
Oh, and can I ask what the OZDAT group is if there not a group of
enthusiasts that want to help out, and entertain other datsun enthusiasts.
Anyway, I am sorry for my actions and words. If what you have stated is
true, I take back all that I said.
Thanks for the sticker. Please forward it to
Level 1,
628 Bourke St
Melbourne Vic
3000
Chris
I am sorry to have to spoil the list by replying to it again but considering
you did I felt it was only fair.
