Oh Carl, gimme a break, phuleeeze! You threw out an incredibly nebulous question (Gee, I bet there were a lot of changes over the years, I wonder what they were?) presumably as a means of stimulating a discussion that you might find interesting. You did not contribute any information of value yourself, other than flippantly suggesting a fix that will not actually work. I responded to your query with useful information that relates to the exact derailleur part that triggered this discussion, and by way of thanks you tell me that I'm O.T.???? We're talking about THE SAME PIECE and if you'd indulge us with a tiny bit of abstract thought, you might recognize that we're essentially talking about the same derailleur. This list frequently includes discussion of SR gear right up to the bitter end, as well as the earliest C-record stuff. The threads about what is or isn't classic go on and on, but the mid-to-late 80's stuff continues to get plenty of attention. I guess it's all some of us can afford.
Next time someone responds to one of your questions you might consider thanking them first, apologizing for not being the least bit specific, and then refining you inquiry... or say nothing. Meanwhile try to recognize that other listmembers might benefit from the information brought out by your question, even if you believe that you don't.
