Commenting on Gary's key words about the forum, its purpose and value
My comments, I personally appreciate the comments of vendors who build Healey
products and provide techincal support - they keep the hobby and marque alive
! Their participation is essential. Yes I too am tired of some of the
"shameless" promotions. Such is life. The promotions of those making new
products and the contrast of those restoring old parts are equally valuable.
For each repair I consider repairing or buying new. For some parts, there is
no debate - one must buy new. Certainly there are frames that are beyond
repair, so I cheer the guys making them and the subassemblies required for
repair.
Gary, I am not offended - I appreciate hearing both viewpoints. Adding an
observation that classy adrvertisement is an art.
Gary's key words that I am replying to:
"This list is not a place where vendors should be pushing the qualities of
their products -- That's what paid advertising is for, and booths at Healey
meets, and word-of-mouth, and the other means of advertising.
I do apologize to anyone who is offended by an argument in this venue, but
I believe the principle is important, and this forum should be defended."
Best Regards,
