Re: Thoughts on UK list proposal (non-automotive content)

My most sincere apologies ahead of time for chucking more dirt on the mole
hill in a valiant attempt to create another mountain.

I believe I speak for most of us in saying the international character of
this list is one of its best features.  I trust we haven't driven anyone
away.  Rather than a new mailing list, why not simply create a group alias
for notifying US members of any specific details related only to UK club
membership.  I think this would serve the purpose with a minimum of effort.
