[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 107, Issue 21

George,

Welcome back!

As far as the Detomaso email list goes, you pretty much get what you get.
There is a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise on just about
anything to do with any Detomaso vehicle.  If you have a question or problem
with a Detomaso vehicle then this is the place to be.  And while the
intended focus of the email list is clearly Detomaso, list topics often end
up drifting here and there and sometimes go absolutely nowhere.  There are
no real posting rules other than everyone is encouraged to play nice.  

There are a number of Detomaso list options though.  If you don't like a
specific thread then just delete the emails with that subject lines as they
arrive - you don't have to even read them.  If you don't like the volume of
email traffic then you can subscribe to the daily digest only (a single
email with a summary of all the day's email).  If you don't want any
Detomaso email at all then you can cancel it entirely and then just log on
to the archives and browse as long and as often as you like - daily,
monthly, yearly, etc.

Good luck,

Dave

ATTN!!!  I am receiving the attached email every day and this is not
necessary or desired.  I thought I signed up for a newsletter, not an empty
repetitive and a pain in the butt email.

Secondly, as an old newbie (75 and bought my Pantera in Nov as an attempt to
start slowing down in life) computer directions are not easily followed.  I
will only follow one or two directions from anyone and then find it
necessary to improvise.  And if directions are not explicit I find it very
easy to move on to other matters.

So, I believe I'd enjoy receiving a Pantera centered newsletter, but I'm not
going to play computer games in order to receive one.

Regards,

George Williams

Oh, and The Pantera is slowing me down; in the shop for new brakes, in the
shop for new exhaust pipes cause the brake job pulled down the old ones; in
the shop for a hitorque starter, back in the shop for a new master cylinder.
