Re: [FWDLK] Member List Update

Dave and list,

Wayne makes a couple of excellent points.  For the list to become a
registry, VINs would be necessary and I'd be happy to supply mine.  I
think Dave mentioned going to a database format.  This would create a lot
of upfront work for him, but make the list, registery whatever much more
maintainable.  It could also allow for some degree of owner entry through
a form.

Finally, I just want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Dave for all of his
efforts in providing this wonderful resource on behalf of our hobby.

Thanks,

-mel in OR (going to the coast to hear blues singer Sista Monica tonight!)
