Hi Ho Bud,
I just love the freedom of press that is allowed in the USA. I'm
certainly sorry to hear that you, based on one very opinionated
article, will not continue your membership after this year. Ian has a
certain way of twisting things round a bit but instead of you dropping
out of an organization which caters to MG enthusiasts, why not, write
your own views down and send it over to Kim Tonry (e-mail on inside
cover). I have always enjoyed reading your views on this list but must
say that if I had to choose between gagging people like Ian or loosing
you as a member of NAMGBR.....sorry to see you go.
Safety Fast,
David Deutsch
Membership Coordinator NAMGBR
