[W126 Coupe] Decision re "new" MBcoupes mailing list

[Gerry Van Zandt]

Hi Dan,

Agree, it's why I put in the "IMHO" where I decried the boorish behavior.

Anyhoo, it's all a done deal now. The "new" email list is deleted, mbcoupes.org domain has been redirected to the MBUSA web site.

Of course I will continue to operate the little sub-board catering to 126 coupes on my 500E site, nothing's changed with that.  I realize there are sites like benzworld.org, MBCA forum, and peach parts forum that are long-standing bastions of 126 coupe knowledge and archives, but I like to have my own little piece of the Internet for 126 coupes as a little nod to ownership. I'll continue to maintain and run that no matter what (here: http://500eboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?50-C126-Coupes)

Glad to see that we may be getting the keys to the "old" MBcoupes e-mail list kingdom from Satish. The knowledge of that is what tipped my final decision to abandon the "new" email list effort.

Teddy Roosevelt said it best:  "It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."

Nuff said, I'm moving on.

Thanks!
Gerry
