The MGB started production in 1962, and continued until 1980.  That is
18 years.  18 _years_.  In those 18 years, the model changed at least
a little bit.  What is relevent to a 1975 B doesn't always apply to a
1980, let alone a 67.  What is more, the B is a natural extension from
the A (seriously, go to Barney's website[0] and see how much A info
applies to the B).  As such, anybody that limites a list to B
discussion only is missing out on a HELL of a lot.  All that "non-B"
information is relevent, or at the very least interesting.

Re majordomo.  I work in IT.  majordomo sucks.[2]  Web-based forums
suck more.  Don't get me started.
