Well said, John- I know I for one, take every opportunity to promote the lists. Whenever I get a question from someone from my site, I always direct them to "the list". Likewise, there's a link provided to help drive viewers there. These have been a great resource to me as well as a great way to get in touch with "the community". Thanks to all of you who participate! Jon '77 (mostly) 1500 "Ol' Yeller" FM66043 7U www.bigolbear.com/
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Macartney Sent: Monday, March 18, 2002 5:01 PM To: Triumph List Subject: Re: trregistry.com I applaud Corey Sherman's initiative in launcing the trregistry - just as much as Joe Curry's ever growing Spitfire database and the other person (apologies, I don't recall his name) who is doing the same for GT6. May they all grow and 'prosper.' However at this point, perhaps I can address another issue that is more connected to this list and others administered by Mark Bradakis. I don't think I'm the only subscriber to Mark's daily email despatches who doesn't have the opportunity of meeting enthusiasts from different parts of almost any 'western' country where individual enthusiasm for the LBC of yore isn't adequately represented. What does concern me is that a substantial proportion of the people I meet who are computer literate and have email at work or at home, claim to be unaware of the existence of any of these lists. Why this should be, I cannot imagine - because they all claim to be fervent supporters of their preferred make. But if this is true, then something somewhere is not connecting at the enthusiast coalface - and this is to everyone's disadvantage. All of us appreciate that the internet and its related services are turning conventional communication methods (snail mail etc) on its head - yet many hundreds who share our love of Standards and Triumphs do not appear to know of our existence. The same appears to apply to Austin Healey, MG, Sunbeam and all the rest. If Corey's, Joe's and A.N. Other efforts are to prove useful to the global ST community, is it not our joint and individual responsibility to re-promote autox.team.net to the club(s) to which we must all surely belong? If we agree to that concept, it surely is not an unreasonable depredation on our individual time to take a few minutes to write to our respective club newsletter editor informing of this global brotherhood? If we can do that, the efforts of others working voluntarily on our behalf to record history for whatever purpose is surely worth the energy they will expend in maintaining such a unique and valuable point of reference.
