It was early in the morning, and I may not have been sufficiently sensitive / delicate in the wording of my message, but it is very difficult for me -- personally -- to participate on IHVOC. So, all else being equal [which it never really is], I am happier when the action is here.

I have no problem at all with Arno inviting our readers to go over there, to read or post, etc. I am sure that there are topics that will do better over there, and others that will do better here (or on TZ-UK). As you say, Mark, it is fantastic to have so many outlets, and all the outlets have gotten along well, together.

Some day, I will try another posting over there, and give an up-to-the-minute report . . . but it was not to be, this morning.

: I've used all sorts of forum software, from Simple Machines to
: phpBB, and never found much problem adapting to each.

: I post more here than on the other Heuer fora, because it's where I
: first found a Heuer home on the net. Some quality discussions
: occur on the others too, and I post in those that interest or
: intrigue me - less so on Vetroplastica nowadays, only when I
: think I can contribute something the regulars will find
: worthwhile translating into Italian! No problems with
: cross-pollination either - I've referred to IVHOC posts here
: before and vice versa, the same with Vetroplastica. Best that
: way, coexisting as intersecting circles on a Venn diagram than
: separate entities.

: I quite like the subforums too - I can witter on about cars and
: racers unconnected to Heuer there without feeling I'm foisting
: an off-topic post on people who aren't interested! Doesn't mean
: you'll get away from them here though, I also have few qualms
: about (reading or writing) OT posts here too.

: I've been posting some replies on Cal 11 too, before I started
: guesting as a writer there. Some interesting and different
: perspectives there, often without the vintage background.

: It goes to show the strength of the Heuer community today that it
: can support so many groups within the larger community, and
: that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
: I don't think Arno linking us over there is essentially different
: than posting re my similarly themed article on Cal 11; people
: will hopefully read and contribute as they see fit.
