bob. perhaps my point wasn't clear. to put it another way, water seeks its own level. while you and a couple of others post about pre 60s issues, the list on the whole doesn't. from that, i conclude that the list's interests relate to the subjects that continually pop up. i am not endorsing that; i wish more people would talk about more things. but you can't question the facts: there are 700 subscribers, there are 30-40 regulars, and these guys regularly post about the same old stuff. how can we change that? e-RICHIE Richard Sachs Cycles No.9, North Main Street Chester, CT 06412 USA http://www.richardsachs.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
