This is a difficult one to answer, Steve but since you asked for honest replies, here goes.

Firstly, you've done a great job with establishing TRS and full credit to you.

However, it's agreed that TRS must pay it's way. Fine! I understand but from my viewpoint I don't need to pay to socialise or to swap yarns about motor racing. I've many friends that I can do that with at any time. Most of these friends by the way will never look at or contribute to TRS even though I've urged them to do so.

Personally, I've enjoyed many of the contributions to TRS and have also enjoyed poking the borax at certain folk but I guess at heart I'm really just not that concerned whether it continues to exist or fades away. Do not take this as a personal insult Steve. You know I'm happy to assist motor racing folk and always will be but you did ask for honest input. Look at it this way: MotorMan was fantastic but it died. Motoring news, likewise but new growth comes through.

To put it in a nutshell that all who know me will understand: Sex is great but I ain't paying for it. Likewise TRS.

My opinion is tendered in full respect for what you have achieved with TRS.

All the very best,
