[DML] RE: Protecting the DMC Name

["Dan RC30" <danrc30@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to single out this comment from the paragraph below... "the only 
possible outcome is destruction and irresponsible use.  I would consider 
that a tragedy."

A "tragedy"? "destruction"? Oh please... people... it's just a car!!! 
Everyone... just shut up and drive it already!!!

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.
