TeriAnn,
I think the whole issue is the arrogance of the decision. It seems to
say, "This is our stuff and you can't see it unless you join our elite
club!"
I think the people who submitted those articles in the first place never
intended that their works be used to hold people up for subscription
dues!
Further, I believe such decisions should be submitted to the general
membership for a vote before they are acted upon. That way we all avoid
such controversy.

Subject: Re: VTR Site Restricted
So one restriction of web pages deserves another? Just a tiny bit over
dramatic?
Remember this is just the actions of a couple key members of VTR done
without the knowledge or consent of its membership. It is subject to
change if members so decide.
Why should we really care what one web site does? Do a google search on
"Triumph sports car" and you will find over 800,000 returns. Do a
search on "Triumph Club" and there are almost 2 million returns.
I think almost everyone on this list agreed that we thought the
restriction was unfortunate for VTR. But That is their problem. Its
not like they were the only source of online info on the net.
Come on folks give it a rest
TeriAnn
