David, they've never taken any input well from what I've seen. It bums me out to; I thought the statement "We exist to serve our members, not the DeLorean community at large" says it best. You attract more flies with honey than vinegars and statements like that put people off from the start of there DeLorean ownership. I would even venture so far as to say statements such as that could be interpreted as elitist and possibly give people the wrong opinion of DeLorean owners everywhere. I mean owning one of these cars should be all about joy of it. Not this political/snobbish back and forth war of words I at least see going on with the DOA. You know sadly if they really feel the way Henry Breer represented them "he does seem to be responding in some official manor" the DOA may very well find itself becoming a bookmark in DeLorean history and not an author. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, David Teitelbaum <jtrealty@xxxx> wrote: > This is a reply that I got from Henry Breer, a Director with the DOA. > This was an e-mail response to my public post on the DML.
