This is the very reason why in the other thread I did not go into detail as to why the numbers were removed, as I knew whatever explanation was given, someone would question our motives.

This is my point exactly - to Mark or anyone else who feels upset that the numbers were taken down. The original intention was obviously to keep them there, which is why they were out there for 6 years. Things change sometimes, and the decision was made to take them down.
Personally, I'm thrilled at the moment. When you spend years (many!) working on the numbers end only to publish them and then get flack from people over what they perceive as 'errors', duplicates, ommissions, etc..... Trust me, it got old - fast. Most folks have no idea what it took to put those lists together. There was no Chrysler organization, no magic filing cabinet, no high ranking person at GM with good motives - none of that! These lists were the result of several people scouring, buying, collecting, trading, etc. to get this info into one comprehensive file. To get criticized for it over the years has burnt my tailpipe!
Ok, I'm off my rant now.
