Maybe the camaraderie is face to face. Here on the east coast we seem
to meet face to face often. Any relationship evolves, I suspect that
the list does the same. Over the years I have met a great group of
people. One of my first posts resulted in me going to Franks to get a
part. As my wife said, "Your going over someones house you met on the
internet. You are going to wind up in a dumpster!" On a trip to
England we went to Daniel house of a very nice dinner and my first
introduction to the British train system (yikes!) I think the list is
one of the reasons that I go to the Norristown swap meet. The selection
is not that great, but the people are good.

Just yesterday I drove my MG down to the unemployment office. While it
did not cure my problems it make them no worse and it was a great day
for a top down drive. I have been putting many miles on the MG. As a
matter of fact I have not been in my other car for 3 weeks.
