Re: [DML] Re: DOA, and car club politics.

[mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The DML is a reasonable place to have this discussion as long
as we stay civil, constructive, on-topic, and first-person.  If we 
don't stay civil, constructive, and on-topic, I could certainly see 
why Ken would prefer to move the discussion elsewhere.  The
first-person limitation is there to avoid propagating rumors
as facts.  If something happened to you, reporting it here 
is fair game.  If you heard if from your 2nd cousin's sister's
boyfriend, it's not.

There is room for a lot of different organizations within
the DeLorean community.  It is up to the individuals in
the community to decide which organizations provide 
value to them and whether or not the value is worth
the cost of joining.  

As always, the DML moderators will strive to be impartial 
and keep the debate civil, constructive and on-track.  No
matter what the outcome, any organization in the community 
is welcome to participate here on the list.
