The R/T list was closed to non R/T owners due to the Towing issue when DC
was monitoring the posts and trying to use them against the owners. Since
that is about over there may come a time that the list will reopen, but I
can't really say for sure.

Mike,
I've read all the posts here from people wanting the R/T list to be open.
I'm probably
going to get
some heat for this, but as an R/T owner I don't see why having the list
closed is a
problem.
There is already a list for all Dakota owners, we're using it right now. If
the R/T list
were open it
might as well not exist at all, everyone could just use DML. I'm not saying
that would be
a bad
thing, I'm just saying that opening the R/T list would defeat the purpose of
it's
existence, which
is an email list by and for R/T owners. Personally, I would have no problem
if the Dakota
4x4
owners created their own list and closed it. Why would I not care? Because
I don't own a
Dakota 4x4. I don't think it's elitist to want a forum where one can read
and post to a
group
where one knows the audience owns the exact same truck as you do. It's nice
to have a
group
that is more tightly focused on just the R/T. I enjoy the DML also for more
general Dakota
discussions. There is nothing in the R/T group in terms of information that
you're not
already
seeing here on DML. R/T specific stuff maybe, but why would someone who
doesn't own an R/T
care about that? If the R/T list were opened to non-R/T owners I would
probably drop it,
as it
would then be redundant with the DML. I think most R/T list members feel
that way. I'm
sorry if
this makes me "elitist" in some peoples' eyes. I'm not elitist, as those who
have met me
will
attest. Jon Smith met me last year at the dyno day. Mike, it looks like you
will be at the
Richmond, VA meet March 4th. I look forward to meeting you there. If after
meeting me in
person you still feel I'm an elitist for enjoying the R/T list for R/T's
only, then I will
respect your
opinion.
