[DML] Protecting the DMC Name

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc Levy speculated about the motivation for protecting the DMC name:

With all due respect, protecting the DMC name, logo, and image MATTER 
VERY MUCH TO ME as a DeLorean owner.

What could be more important to the community of DeLorean enthusiasts 
than protecting the DMC name and logo?  Anyone familiar with the 
DeLorean saga knows that parts, hardware, even body dies can be remade, 
but a reputation is destroyed forever.

I want to see someone, anyone, protect the DMC name and logo.  But 
regardless of who offers it or the legal strength supporting it, I 
cannot imagine anything more dangerous to our community than these 
constant and unrelenting attacks on this protection.  These assaults 
cannot possibly lead to any enhancement in prestige or responsible use 
of the name and logo, the only possible outcome is destruction and 
irresponsible use.  I would consider that a tragedy.

I have tried to rationalize the motivation behind this belligerence 
toward something so important to all of us, but I cannot reach a certain 
answer.  Because I am a moderator on this list as well as a concerned 
DeLorean owner, I shall politely refrain from the sort of defamatory 
speculation  I quoted in the opening of this message.
