Inc,
In relation to this there are a number of bits ..
I did not email you to ask anything as:
1) I assume you like the rest of us like to have some time to yourself
2) I also assumed that you read the forum as you pop in and out of thread regularly therefore I would hope a post would have sufficed.
I want very much to remain on both forums and find it a pity that theyve seperated. (I too was one of the early MVCA members and enjoy the forum, more to read etc than to haunt as I do here)
Until there was no access to the remlr files, I was of the belief that the move was so remlr could spread it wings and relieve some of the pressure on aulro.
I do not know what has happened that has caused what appears to be bitterness (but as I really have no idea I could be reading it wrong, if so, sorry to both of you) between yourself and remlr and in some ways I really don't care or want to know, if its not my business it can stay out of the mix.
I do not mean to be rude about things as I am fully aware of how much you do to support almost anything to do with Land Rovers but if you have land rovers at heart I am at a loss to understand why you would prevent all of us (remember how far we are spread) who use/read/reference the remlr collection from using or accessing the files already done?
As I said this is not a swipe and I refuse to take sides (call me switzerland!) but I have no record or access to the information I have added over time as it was "safe" on the forum here. Maybe that was niave of me but these and 1 other are the only forums I use at all. For instance since 2006 I have been searching for a photo of my landy in vietnam, I was aware it existed but couldnt find it, it turned up recently and so I added it to the forum. Since doing that my laptop has died and I cant access the hard drive or the photo hosting site as to be honest I cant remember the password etc..
All this is, I am acutely aware, not really any of your problem but as I sit here completely confused by this whole scenario it is what I am thinking... I was disappointed with the "peanuts" comment as I have always thought you ran the forum in a way that was above name calling, but as I said, I don't know what preceded this..
Basically I am just throwing in a plea for the opening of the remlr files.. I dont know what conditions need to be met but find it distressing you think they may not be met, the remlr files to date represent a lot of research and hard work gathering knowledge from people all over the place, (including as you know, yourself!) some of these sources are now gone (as in deceased) and their info is irreplaceable, and I feel shouldnt be held as a bargaining chip or tool..
In so many areas here you have set up spots to save info or collect info about certain land rover related topics and saved them dilligently so I find it distressing to hear there are conditions (whatever they are) on them being released... I feel as though my contributions have been stolen from me but now realise that as owner of the site they are probably your property as soon as they are entered and can see why that would be the case..
OK I've vented my plea and explained my distress at this whole scenario as I see it, If I am wrong in the way Ive read this (as I hope to God I am) then feel free to slot me back into my place...
lastly once again I want to be clear I'm switzerland here trying to be neutral and not take any sides, I only know whats on this thread (so lets be honest thats not much!) and as I said assumed this was a matter of a "child moving out with dads blessing" until these latest posts..
cheers, I hope that at least soon all this will settle down and we can at least have the two forums attend family functions without fighting.... (this line is a poor attempt at humour... but I mean it)
if a PM is preferred by either of you guys for any answer - feel free or in turn if you so desire I would understand a "butt out" message from either party..
spleen vented...
