Now wait a durn minute. What about Midgets? I don't mind the volume on 
this list. I can hit the delete key if I want. I read most of the posts 
even though I have a Midget and the majority are B/A type questions with 
a few T's thrown in for good measure. Yes we Midget drivers have a 
seperate list for Spridgets (tends to be dominated by the Sprite types - 
could be 'cuz us Midget drivers have this list to rely on as well) and I 
get that and that increases the volume of mail I get. 

I find most of the comments between the drivers of other models of MG's 
are enlightening. The specific ones that do not have any general info in 
them are the one's I am most likely to skip.

I also belong to a couple of lists that are comuter specific and several 
at Penn that are work related. Somedays I don't get through all but I 
try. A typical Monday morning mail file gets me in the 3-400 message 
range. Of course most of them I have already read, I just need to find 
the important ones to save.

Don't split the list!!

In a world without walls or fences, what use do we have for windows or
