For the record, I don’t have any issues with continuing to use the GMCNET as it is now. I’ve gotten used to it’s quirks and am confortable with how it works.

We do need to realize that to survive for the long term will require accommodating the newer TZE owners. We have previously commented here numerous times about the newer/younger crowd and how they expect/demand that online info be easily obtained. They are the future TZE owners and if we don’t figure out how to attract them to the GMCNET, then we will just dwindle away and die due to lack of caring.
