Randy,
If these comments were brought up purely from a political argument - out
of nowhere - I would agree with you. However, it did germinate from a
discussion about balance weights on Tigers. Should it continue on endlessly
I would also agree that it should have a point of termination. While this
is a "Tiger" list it is also automotive related, there are things related to
every car that affect our hobby. Some feel a need to "vent" stronger than
others. For me, I would prefer to give them that latitude - for a period of
time - even if I disagree (which to some extent I do).
Yesterday I posted what to me was a whimsical absurdity (old man smelting
lead in a shack) of health laws. Mark just posted about the austerity of
Vermont lead disposal. Why should this discussion be on a Tiger list?
Because if you had to have a licensed lead expert charge you $200 to clean
corroded battery terminals I think there would be a relevance to how all
this ties together. At times it seems like that day isn't too far off.
Frankly, if it wasn't for these side discussions I wonder how little
traffic there would be. Eight years ago when I got on the list it was 98%
Tiger discussion. While I wish that were still the case, obviously it is
not. I will never have the money to buy a set of Panasports or a Martha
Wheat interior. I have probably seen hundreds of messages on these subjects
that are on no interest to me. The simple solution - Delete. Don't let a
few zealous people who do feel that outside issues affect their Tiger hobby
ruin your day.
Respectfully, Tom Witt
