Re: [DML] Objection to the Production Chronology notes

["ksgrimsr" <knut.s.grimsrud@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all those that have been sending me updates on the side 
for improving the accuracy of the VIN list information.

I'll share a dirty little secret about the VIN list with you all. 
Almost none of the information in the VIN list is actually authored 
by me -- nearly all the infomration is as submitted by other 
sources. Those other sources include the DOD (where a substantial 
amount of the info comes from), contributed transcription of company 
records (like the warranty cards), regional club organizers, and 
enthusiast sleuths.

I agree with the comments about the kinds of information that 
belongs on the submitted records, and I will start scrubbing the 
material I receive to watch out for information that does not have 
good longevity. Scrubbing the massive DOD submission for suitable 
data will be a drag, and I encourage those owners that fill in the 
forms to do so with an eye towards the kinds of information that 
will be relevant in the long-run. 

If you have corrections or additions to the information on your car 
(or any other car you have first-hand information on), please feel 
free to drop me a note and I would be more than happy to correct the 
info.

         Knut
