You are correct, not sure if that is just an observation or a value statement. But think of it as a community of people with one major common interest who also like to discuss other things of interest, as you might do at a car club meet or when you sit together for a beer or while you are working on your car together. Have some fun, learn something about your Benz or other things, or use that key that says "Delete" as much as you want or just ignore it altogether.
Not saying any of that in a mean way -- back some years ago when I was part of a group of people who thought and worked a lot on what a networked community needed to come into existence and thrive, the immediacy and asynchronicity of "email" and discussion groups and that internetubes thing was viewed as a necessary enabler of a community. Not everyone would always participate, and not always in the prescribed manner, but that was the great thing about a community. And a lot of that stuff has evolved in very interesting (and some not so interesting) ways. But you always have a choice to participate or not, as much or as little as you want. And if you don't like it (or even if you do), there is a wondrous array of alternatives for you. --R RICHARD FIne wrote: > I lurk here daily and I find very little posted here of any Mercedes value... > > > Rick > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > > > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
