really excited to find miata.net and this list serve.  I've already come
across alot of worthwhile info, as well as some (and I do only mean some) 
good humor.

Gary, thank you for miata.net and all you put into it.  I can understand
Mazda and MCA not underwriting the entire miata.net effort (they don't
have to, it's already here, so why make the effort),but I can't 
understand their apparent complete lack of support.  Does MCA provide any 
services to its members other than the magazine and cosponsoring national 
events?  

Wouldn't a web presence provide a valuable service to the membership?
And wouldn't it make more sense to build on an established,existing site 
like miata.net rather than construct a new one. 

MCA, like any other organization, I suppose, will respond to demands from 
its customers when enough of them make the same demand.  So, how about an 
organized effort here?

With regards to Mazda, it appears they just don't give a damn after you 
buy their cars. However, if they thought enough of us believed that,
maybe they would do more.

Sorry for the long post.  I feel better now.
