Changes coming...

[Triumphed]

I for one am more than willing to pay the small price of keeping this website going so I can continue to learn all I can about my new 235 Triumph. The knowledge already learned is invaluable. I am anxiously awaiting Randy's new DVD so I can increase my knowledge base. This is a great website for anyone to learn about Triumphs and boats in general. Randy should be commended for all the time and effort he has put into making this work. Many kudos also to Vic and Dave for their time and effort also. May this website continue to grow in available knowledge so all of the participants will become more informed about their boats. It's a small price to pay that will be returned many times in value. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

PS-The boat is not officially mine yet but I'm within days of finalizing the financing and when I do the electronics will be installed on the boat. I intend to take some pictures and try to get this on the website. Thanks for listening to my thoughts.

Just to clarify what I previously wrote:

When I said I didn't like being told what to do, that was strictly my perception and in no way was I "throwing stones" or trying to find fault. I fully understand that it is my choice, and mine alone, to participate in this site or to simply go away. No one is forcing me at gunpoint (or mouse point for that matter) to participate or to support this site financially or otherwise...I understand that completely.

Randy, you have done a great job of creating an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation in an area that could very easily turn negative and ugly (just go to THT for 5 minutes and see). I know for a fact that I could not have done what you have. You have been extremely generous in offering this site for free for so long and, conservatively, thousands have benefited from your generosity. I know it's the way of this sad world when kind people get targeted for abuse by those that offer nothing in return. Which ever way you decide to go with the site, I understand completely. So far it's been a great ride and for that I thank you. Here's hoping the ride stays open for a long time...I've got a whole pocket full of quarters...let's have fun!

Chuck, I fully understood what you were saying and I thank you for it. I was making the point for others and elaborating on responses to a few emails that I had received at that point.

Thank you for hanging in there with me. Your support and contribution to the site is very much appreciated by me.

I am a member of several web sites that appeal to my interestes. Triumphowners.net is one of them. I joined to Captains Club several years ago to support this website.

I also pay for the privlege of the Fairlane Club of American and a another regarding 'Santa's. I joined to support the websites so that they can stay alive and well.

I understand Randy's dilemma and will support as long he needs it.
