Richard had all the seperate lists, I have basically combined all the
lists into one here with a few exceptions. The only specialty lists are
the SL list and the vets list for older cars. They are there but not
much goes on with them. Most of the activity is here and just about any
question can probably be answered.

Thanks, Kaleb - I wasn't aware of just what the timing (or the reason) for
the Ritter/Easley list origination, or just how Richard Sexton got involved.
I was fully involved with the old MBCA lists, and was ashamed of how a few
"empire builders" treated Kathy, who gave her all for the good of mthe club
and the lists she was "mother" to. And when a few insiders (who didn't take
dissent well or at all) ran off Todd Knutson and Jay Obrien, plus several
other "good guys", I was happy that someone picked up the challenge to keep
a few nets going.
But you are correct, when things crashed, it got kind of lonesome, and I
really appreciate you taking the challenge. What I didn't know was how
things had transitioned from the days of Richard Sexton to now, mainly
because I had to drop off for a couple of long periods due to medical and
other issues.
I do have a concern though that with too many sub nets, that we may be
losing out on the social and technical aspects of a larger group. From what
I can see, there may be lots of lurkers, but there is no way to know which
net to send out a question for a particular interest. That may just be a
lack of my own understanding, or perhaps a realization that there are more
nets that need to be monitored (and to be careful of using in response?).
Anyway, Happy New Year, and keep smiling. Enjoy the winter weather, which
you folks in the plains have been nice enough to keep away from the East
Coast!
