Hi Billy,
As much as I admire Roger Black for originating this list, its name is an impediment. Time has marched on and “Black List” is no longer cute or right. If you think in terms of the huge gulf which separates different generations of our population, names are meaningful. Most all of us on this post are …..; “elderly”. Growingly, our owners are …. “younger”. That is as it should be.
I think it is well past time we call this what it is, “the GMC help list”. Call when you need help, no matter where you are, no matter what the problem, someone will try to help you.
Thank Roger, leave the name behind, and join the modern era.

Thanks for the suggestion. Hard to break old habits. It'd be a hard
sell. The actual name, "The GMC Assist List" pretty much says it all. TZE
fits though. I like it.
