Yeah, but what would life be if no one had an opinion. I think it is good
for this list
to engage in topics pertinent to MGs. Albeit, this particular topics isn't
of too much interest
for those with MGAs, and Ts, but hey, all these autos were made by the same
team.

Oh, let's start up a Jap luxury car vs German luxury car debate, or ohhh,
lets discuss how the
8-track deck is in so many ways better than the CD. Who gives a rats ass
about such things, and
I'd much rather see a debate about MGs in this list.
As far as clouding the minds of the new list members, it really isn't too
bad. The more they
read the more they will realize I'm a babbling
fool at times. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. Most people
yap at me when I put a
select few words into my posts which are mostly rhetorical or sarcastic,
and it keeps me going.
I would hope that most new listmembers would realize this is merely an
argument of preferences, not
set-in-stone facts.
Oh, boy, I'm really rambling now.

Ya, I agree too.
