       MT - Still Flying The Flag

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Every now and then I have a rant about the lack of support for
       MT. I try to do my best for you and spend several hours a week
       searching for news, tracks etc. It is very disheartening when
       there are so few views and even less replies or likes!
       When I set up MT almost 20 years ago I did so for the following
       reason. Initially it was to be home to all the lesser known
       Motown artists who were being overlooked so I originally called
       the group 'The Motown Wee Folk'. Later I changed it to 'Motown
       Treasures' and it became a place for everyone to have their say
       about all aspects of Motown music. Later I changed MT to become
       an all inclusive music group. It's a safe place where we all
       respect each others opinions without going into a hissy fit! My
       aim was to keep the flag flying for 'the wee folk' who are
       unsung when it comes to success. They are not short of talent or
       lacking quality of output. The 'big folk' can really take care
       of themselves at present.
       At it's peak the old MT Yahoo group had over 700 members. When
       Yahoo closed their groups I created this version which I think
       is much better due to its format. It's easy to navigate and find
       info on an artist. Currently there are just over 100 members out
       of which about only 10% are active! UMe have lost all interest
       in Motown saying that it's no longer viable to release anything!
       Ace are being thwarted by red tape on any Motown project. I have
       heard distant rumblings that another source may, that is may,
       just be interested in doing something.
       MT belongs to 'the wee folk' who deserve to be remembered. MT
       belongs to you as it's your group. MT will continue until I pop
       my clogs as by closing it I'd be letting the aforemention groups
       down.

       Humboldt Your labour of love is so appreciated. Your many posts
       this morning alone, have educated and entertained me royally
       throughout the day.
       The forum has also alerted me to Snakepits' current radio shows
       which I look forward to twice weekly.
       Your posts of new releasees over the years has cost me dear but
       it's money well spent.
       I confess I had no idea there was a like button. I will make
       sure to show appreciation in future. Many thanks.
