Why not just join the MSSC? The Texas clubs are

Boyles our hereditary treasurer will be glad to join
you up, then besides the Miscellany you can receive
our award winning publication the Mog Log. This will
also give you a right to accept Bob Nogureas case of

you can, bet I won't have as many flats as you if we
make a lightning Alaska run, etc.).

Hi,
For quite a while Tony's Morgan Registry, John Blair's
site and the GoMoG site get as many daily hits as all
other Morgan sites put together or approximately 30
times the MSSC site this week. By word count alone, the
three sites would swamp a ten years' worth of MSSC's
Miscellany issues ..and there are no ads.
It also goes without saying that this List is active
and valuable..and it too is free.
This all costs the Morgan Community here nothing... but
we could do even better with a little help.
With that in mind, is it a fine idea to keep paying
70US to MSSC? MSSC dues resources are enormous compared
to any North American club or all of us combined for
that matter. Yet those resources satisfy our community
less than 1 time in 30 compared to the free resources
offered by our home grown enthusiasts in North America?
In spite of its present problems,MSSC has a vital place
in the Morgan community overseas. I can understand
some owners here having sentimental attachments which
are nurtured by paying "lots of money" to the MSSC. I
respect that. But it is not a "money-value" decision.
Normally one wants to pay less and get more. We could
do a lot with a little here.
We should not reinvent the MSSC here. We should simply
ask ourselves at this point whether we like the
on-going interaction we have all created here on the
internet, and do we want to expand it, coordinate it,
involve the clubs in it and have more fun. So far it
costs nothing.
Alternatively, we can pay the 70$ and wait by the mail
box for our next issue of Miscellany from England.
OR we can support both AND STILL have the right to
accept Bob Nogueira's beer bets.
