Jim,
WELL SAID!
In my short time on this list, I have come to appreciate it as a
collection of amateurs and professionals doing their best to keep these
cars running and looking good. The great value of this group is its
"collective knowledge" and anything that diminishes that impoverishes us
all.
As a hobbyist, I greatly appreciate the presence of professionals,
enthusiasts and novices on the same stage, because it gives a proper
perspective. One size does NOT fit all. We need to foster debate,
because sometimes to really see all the details you need light from many
different sides.
Thanks to all,
Jim Higgins
