cause its a rocco thing, i dunno, i've always hated to see the rocco clan 
'segregated'

i thought we were just trying to get all listers on it. the catch is that 
the number of invites you get is seemingly random per person. if someone 
tried to go off and be 'head of a local pyramid', they may end up not 
getting invites for a while (for whatever reason), and end up screwing 
everyone under them.

but isnt the whole tst basically on this list anyhow? i figured they would 
all be covered if we did it rocco-list wide.

ok, look, i'll settle with you. the tst, as you say, is fairly huge. it just 
seems funny to me that other non-tst listers have to miss out on the added 
wealth of knowledge / parts / whatever that the tst could provide other 
listers (those that arent on the rocco list). its always just peeved me for 
some reason. does there really have to be this magical dividing line around 
texas?

let me put it to you this way. imagine for a moment that the rocco list was 
strictly rocco only. just wrecked your rocco? sorry - booted. dont have a 
rocco? sorry, cant join. now apply that to those that dont live in texas, 
and imagine that you didnt live in texas. you would never gain the 
knowledge/experience that floats around on tst list posts.

now for all i know the tst list could be half dead all of the time and all 
of this argument is moot...
