Re: [MBZ] OT: How long have you been here? Csn you remember?

I joined Kathy Kenels's MBCA list in the mid 90s, but it had little content about W110s, and little expertise.  I Joined Alex Gabbard's veteran's list in 95 or 96.   Great people there. Tried the ritter easley(hitler) list about the same time.   Nothing there but 124/126 stuff, so I quit.
