Why?

What's wrong with this (virtual) "group" ??? Of all the collecting groups I belong to, this is the only one where my (and I suppose other's) public (and private) requests for help have been ignored and (worse) I suspect even opposed. Is there something I don't know? If this the case I would like to know. Thank you. Also your caper to insist on having ALL the items in the collection in working condition is, in my opinion, unique to this group. I can understand (and share) the motivation but surely we (I?) collect for the design point of view and for the historical importance. Don't we? Or am I in the wrong group anyway? Sorry for the frankness but I thought I'd get this one out of my chest before it gets even worse (I am still owed at least 5 replies to my messages) in that I will be banned from this mailing list. Hope not. What is your problem?
