Thanks Keith - it is a chain of PM’s so probably won’t work then.
I’m gazing at Concorde in Filton at the moment but rest assured I shall address that when I get home tonight as TM’ers need to know how evil and jealous of TM he is.
The essentials of the PM from Lorne a few years back - the rest is intact and saved for a rainy day..
It can all be worked out using only logic. For almost three decades, eMog/GoMoG have never sought made any revenue or even allowed advertising in any form..even google. Even the famous eMog badge
was sold at cost. So the costs have been borne by me, enough now to buy many Morgans. But I don't regret that at all..despite the livid pressure from my wife and others..especially when what I have done for
free becomes a sad target. But I reap a deep pleasure helping people. I found it infinitely frustrating to own a Morgan pre-GoMoG.I actually started it for an audience of one..me. as a mogging aid rather than
stuffing papers under the seats of the car. When two Morgan friends saw it, they begged me to make it public. I did, with a LOT of shyness. Now I get pilliared regularly on TM. (wryly) You would think, with its
widely proclaimed utility, the smart thing would be to try to ensure its continuity rather than panning it.
So what malice or self-interest on earth can one attribute to me? Doesn't make sense. Like this latest thread. What do I care about whether I am politically correct about who forums represent. It is added as a
service to others. And frankly, from what insiders have told me (some very bitterly) TalkMorgan controls the MSCC (or whatever is left of it.
But I have always found the Morgan community is the presages the anglo world. I can't figure that out, but there you have it. (IMHO) As the Morgan community amd MMC changed, so did the anglo-world.
Internet-wise it went from a lovely warm and fuzzy social discovery to gratuitously vicious. Who would have thought that it would give a high podium to the less pleasant examples of humanity, which
I still feel are rarer that the large, sadly silent, mass of normal people. But the curious thing about the huge majority is, unlike the haters, they shrink from confrontation or comment, leaving them majority helpless.
You are different. You speak up. That makes you even rarer than the cretins!!!

The claim of TM is that they have never banned anyone,
That is sadly (and absolutely) not true..though admittedly, I have not tracked regularly TM for many years. I consult it when someone asks me to help them with a problem they have unsuccessfully posted there or, stupidly,
when someone warns me they are attacking again. They have banned many people..altered their messages or worse. It has nothing to do with the Terms & Conditions. It happens when these messages were
posted as warnings against discovered faults or even danger from errant advice given. For example, when their recommended method of redoing a Morgan front suspension (by Dave W) put a Frenchmen in the
hospital with missing teeth and a crushed cheek bone, they refused to accept a post explaining why their method was dangerous and offering safe options from dealers and gurus. There is a long list of such things.
Now you see why I dislike guruism.

Keep your site going, I advise most new owners to acquaint themselves with it as do a couple of other hands on TMers.
I am working on ways to set it up to have it exist after I am gone. But, not to worry, I have never fretted or cared much about the size of its traffic..aside from being astounded by it.
Good to have this exchange. Take heed. The GoMoG archives and contacts are much larger than what is displayed on the net. If you need help with something, keep me in mind.
