Triumphants,
I was on the SwedishBricks list for years & have been a list moderator.
That aside, I think that this list should be left as it is. I enjoy the
banter, the tangentially related jokes, and I like most of the people who
make up the list. I view the list, in the same way I view going out with a
group of friends from work. We discuss the issues around our profession,
but we also discuss our families, vacations, tell jokes etc. This is what
makes spending time with them outside work interesting. This is also what
makes learning about Triumph ownership & maintenance on this list
interesting. It is made up of people. If a member doesn't want to partake
in the whole experience, they would be far better off investing in the
various manuals available for our cars and to avoid our community. It is
the human aspect that makes this list so meaningful, and some people seem
to find this frightening, let's not change the list and diminish everyone's
experience. Why don't we all go look at our cars, and then think about all
that we've gained from the list.
Good night everyone,
Mark
