Hey now, Claude may be on to something here... If everyone in the DML joins the DOA, the DOA gets $192,150.00 and The price of an oil change and spark plugs at Delorean One costs exactly - you guessed it - $192,150 Coincidence??????????? Tom PS - the above cost of service at D1 does not include sales tax - watch out for more DOA shenanigans guys, they need another 8.25% to make this really work! Damn they are clever though! -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of cbl1739 Sent: Fri 6/20/2008 11:27 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: DOA, and car club politics. The way I see it, BOTTOM line is the Bottom Line on the DML membership,they see the membership count on the DML (at this moment at 2135) And I am sure their shrinking Membership count....If they had 2135 members at even the Minimum $90.00 per year membership per year...That would come out to a shocking total of $ 192,150.00...Now,I know there are costs to running a club, BUT... I have to say what in Heck does a car club do with that kind of money....Even if you take for any shows and magazines,it would not even come close to using a third of that... They tried to stop Espey from forming this site, and failed,they stopped others from forming a national club,and won,they tried to come on the DML in the past with promises of change and failed(to get any reasonable new members)Then they came back with offers of a free offer of appox 12.5 years of back issues of DW and that failed to get reasonable new memberships,Now out of the blue comes this "new strategy" replace the board members,with DML MEMBERS...HOW Brilliant!!!...The old saying if you cannot beat them down, become part of them...then beat them down. That will build ...CON..fidence to get people to join alright!! Until Mr.B and his clan are proven beyond a doubt that they no longer have anything to do with the DOA..it will be business as usual.Get the new members $90.00 fee in any way possible,no matter what it takes,to make people believe in the DOA and join. Claude P.S. On a side note: If you leave the Yahoo group wide open...there is no need to "join" The site COULD be setup from any DOA restrictions,IF THEY SO CHOOSE..again if it is left open and free to use, Just read and type in your questions,rather then get a mixmaster of DOA postings on the DML. I do not mind reading the postings about the DOA...but at some point in time I do hope the Moderator has sense to choke this thing off!! it has to STOP...otherwise the DML might as well change it's name from the DML to the DOA. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Kevin Abato" <delorean@...> wrote: > > That would only further the concept of causing a rift in the community by opening their own yahoo group and giving what they 'might' call a following based on who joins just to get info. > > The topic is relevant to the Delorean community as a whole, and should not be moved OFF the DML to a separate forum owned and operated by the DOA (subject to their rules, interpretations, and moderation) > > Kevin Abato > VIN# 16680 > www.grenexmedia.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: "cbl1739" <cbl302@...> > > Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:45:52 > To:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [DML] Re: DOA, and car club politics. > > > Or he can just startup HIS OWN Yahoo Groups,and leave it open for all > to read and see and ask questions. > > It only takes a few minutes to startup a Yahoo groups site...Rather > than use the DML bandwidth.And it will be all grouped together onto > one site,rather than mixed in with other unrelated postings on the > DML. > > Claude > > > > > See what happens when no one is looking.... > > http://tinyurl.com/57hqnu [very long quote trimmed, ironically, by moderator] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
