I am president of the DCTRA in Phoenix. We just went thru a diatribe caused by
a purest. I managed to contain it. The lists are for us Triumph people to
exchange ideas and as necessary equipment. If someone sells some thing to
another so be it! For charity I should think no problemo! A commercial
ongoing sale could cause this to become a commercial sales venue, I personally
would have some umbrage on that! John Horton

I stand in all this. Clearly I have periodically 'mis-used' the lists for
the shameless promotion of the ST book I wrote some years ago and which so many
people kindly
ordered. Obviously I should have found other methods. However a further thought
occurs. As many
know, I'm undertaking a marathon drive across the States and Canada next year
in a Stag and there's
a very definite financial interest in that. Simply, its to raise as much money
as I can for three
charities - though I'll be making nothing out of it myself, other than writing
another book about
the whole trip. I've got a financial objective to somehow raise US$300k out of
the trip and many on
the lists have signed up for periodic updates of the event website and the trip
itself.
If the prime objective of all the lists is to preclude any 'advertising' in
which there is a
prominent financial motive, I'm wondering whether I should keep my updates off
these lists and only
notify those who have signed up to the "Keep yourself informed" button on the
website.
I'd appreciate some fairly adjacent guidance please on how I should proceed
from now onwards. I also
apologise for having misued the lists in the past concerning my book.
