Gidday,
At the expense of compromising my continued parts supply from Europa I 
would like to make the following observations.
Luckily for me I have most of what I need. I really struggle with my 
conscience to think that I can continue my build sourcing the last of the 
bits from Europa 2004 and yet have the knowledge someone else's life dream 
has gone down the toilet. I think we should unite and tell Europa 2004 that 
until the outstanding kit builders have their parts supplied, we are not 
going to support the new company! Simple isn't it, and it gives guys like 
Larry Morgan some hope. There is one other issue, how are we going to pay 
for our bits in the future? Are we going to pay in advance like before, 
prior to delivery? I should think this would be unwise. So, before Europa 
tell us this is the way it is going to be, maybe we should tell Europa 2004 
how we want it, need it.
In case there are those out there who still are of the view that we should 
keep our heads down and let Europa 2004 get on with it, I haven't received 
a personal e-mail from the company. In today's world this is unacceptable 
not to have received a statement of intent of the new business. Rowland 
Carlson is telling everyone that Europa has lost all of our e-mail 
addresses because of a transfer to broadband. Might I suggest that the 
computers that used to hold those e-mails have been squirrelled away and 
are gone along with their contents. For Europa itself to not be making a 
general broadcast to the list requesting this information suggests 
potential "less than ideal management" already. I want a response to 
whether a partition is appropriate, where everyone including those outside 
the Europa Club can air their collective desire to partition Europa 2004 
for the parts supply outstanding prior to our support. Simple, and fair. 
Doesn't seem to be a lot of fairness and honour any more. Peeves me a tad.
