Re: Looking for owner of Vin # 100-816
Chas has a great point**.....*** same stuff differnt day******** just think most car clubs charge a little less
than ours does*(.I do belong to a few*)* So we should have the most to offer.*** The Web site should be #1 priority for us
all of our previous-past work should be building to make the site a place to solve Amphicar problems*
Ok** *hire a web person

Is there any possible chance that you guys could stop this childish
whining.
I belong to over thirty car clubs with forums, and although they all
have their little spats and struggles, I have not seen anything of
this nature. It is unfortunate, and really puts out a bad impression
for our entire group, especially to people who are new to this forum.
We get it. You guys don't like each other. You did a lot for the club
and nobody appreciated it. It is a thankless job, but hopefully you
did it because you care about the Amphicars and about the people.
I personally think that your skills, knowledge, help, and advice are
incredibly valuable, and I am personally sorry that you did not
receive appropriate or adequate acknowledgement for your
contributions, and that you were chastised for these efforts, but
frankly, everyone is really tired of reading about this feud.
Can we please move on to discussing Amphicars?
Thanks,
Chas
