But that is the point exactly, Craig! It is a shame that the showing has gotten to the point where people can't be bothered.

I am going to broach the "M" word (typically on this forum we only discuss this when a merger is being discussed publicly by the principals - gets a bit edgy discussion-wise if you are not careful!).

Anyway, even if, by magic there was a merger we would still have yet another spec series clamoring for attention. In the times you refer to there was a diversity in engines, chassis and venue. It is not like anyone needs to reinvent the wheel (no pun intended) but what we now have could not be much further than what we had if we had intended it that way from the start.

Until someone comes in and DOES something we are left with two series that provide only an occasional glimpse of "what was."
