I'm not one to start trouble, but I can't help but agree with Glen. The list
is so crowded with this political stuff the e-mail load is more than you can
read in one day. Lets please stick to the nuts and bolts of our hobby.

I met a very nice and knowledgeable gentleman the other day by the name of
Rick Bonds. Rick lives about 50 mi. from me and has several large GI trucks.
He also recently sold a M55 SP 8 in. Howitzer to the Littlefield collection.

I asked him if he ever got on the list and he said he used to be a
subscriber until all the hoopla started over the MVPA. So he unsubscribed
and hasn't been back on. We all loose when knowledgeable people get tired of
all the controversy and leave the list. This is the greatest tool that we
have to network and get information. A lot of us are too far from a chapter
of the MVPA to attend regular meetings. I've gained a wealth of knowledge of
the list and have learned things that I'll probably never use. I'm sure I'll
probably never own any British or German vehicles, but it's neat to know
about them.

The pressure is off, I've vented.
