The next 8 or so message that you will see come through are on this topic. I'm interested as a moderator in knowing whether this discussion is of interest to the group at large. My undertainty stems from the fact that while it DOES pertain to our charter of "the car/the man/the company", the topic is so full of conjecture and speculation that I personally find it as annoying as off-topic posts on Bricklins and Camaros. I'd really rather the list stay on the topic of the operation and history of the car that we have, not speculation about jewelry and a mysterious new car. But - if this is what the list wants, we'll let it run, judiciously moderated, at least for a while. So let's try something new. Please send your opinion PRIVATELY to poll@xxxx, (if you don't see the address, it is poll -at- dmcnews.com) I'll publish the results in a few days. And try to keep postings to discussion of reality. Dave Swingle - about to get iron handed on this one.
