Marcos Maniacs

Hi Maniacs,
 I am probably responsible for "screwing" up this thread by putting my 
reply at the bottom when it started.  I believe that they should be at 
the top to read correctly.  Regardless, what I would like to add to 
this discussion goes beyond this particular brochure.  Tad mentions 
the brochure I posted that has tech tips on repairing stress cracks.  
This is a brochure that Tad also has although each of us, Tad and 
Myself, don't have a copy of Pauls brochure.  The point I am driving 
to is, lets get all of this stuff up on the site and see what we 
collectively have as a group.  It doesn't have to be pretty, just get 
it posted.  As I said in my email announcing the opening of the site, 
we are currently working on some additional things that are pretty 
exciting.  Eventually we will need access to all this material.  The 
first step is identifing exactly what we have and whatelse might exist 
"out there".  Mark Saxby, of the Unofficial Marcos Web site (the 
absolute,very best Marcos Website out there...link available under 
bookmarks on this site)has agreed to help us and has already posted 
his parts interchange list under "files" on this web site. I have 
gotten committments from several other sources to help us as well.  
The point is we need to "capture" all the information we have 
collectively and make it available to anyone and everyone who needs 
it. So I would like each of you to rummage through your old files and 
binders etc. and start posting the information that you have.  You can 
also email me directly with the information if that works for you.  We 
can "refine" the information later if need be, to put it into a useful 
format etc.  So let's all make a committment to post something new 
every day and see what we have. Don't worry too much about appearances 
at this point.... some items don't scan or photograph well.  If it is 
something that is useful, then we can always retype it or something. 
Contribute, do something.  Be part of the solution!

Thanks,
Mike Denman
