Here it is at last!

I have decided to start some sort of "Dalton Community":D

The first step I'd like Dalton fans to take is modify their signatures and write them EXACTLY like mine - so that we can be recognised;)

Like this: D A L T O N I T E


I don't really know where to start with this Dalton Group - any suggestions? Is "The Dalton Group" a good name? Any thoughts?


All those who wish to join please reply to this post.

Thanks
RITZ

I am in!

This is what i did about a month ago.

I took my TLD and LTK covers to a t shirt place and got a them scanned onto a black T shirt. TLD on the front and LTK on the back, very very cool. I wear it with pride and always get plenty of looks. Several people have come up to me to express their opinion that Dalton was the best 007 ever.

Hmm, as much as I like Dalton as Bond, he was amazing, I'm still a proud member of the BBC, so I won't be joining. And how about simply, ''The Dalton Bond Community''? DBC.

When someone starts a community, is should be a simple yes or no, but we get people offering choices what RITZ should call it, in respect to the community starter, let the answers be a yes your in, or no your not. Thank you very much, this information was brought to you by
D A L T O N I T E's PR agent Sean Valen.



RITZ, I'm in.
I've added a small touch to my signature, it has

D A L T O N I T E, but as we are individuals, I've added my touch to it, as I'm the PR agent of D A L T O N I T E.:cool:

I have no personal objections to this Dalton Group, but you may want to consider a name change from D A L T O N I T E.

That name just keeps reminding my of the Dentinite (sp?) toothpaste Q has in his bag of tricks in Licence to Kill.

Sorry.

i have a simple question for you dalton lovers, is it bond or dalton that u love >see i just dont understand this obsession that u guys seem to have and its looks like segregation to me and thats devisive and we dont need that, this is the BOND FORUM NOT TIMOTHY DALTON FORUM if you guys want to do this i would tell u that a web site for dalton would be a better place to focus your obsession

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but...
If I were simply a Dalton fan, I'd be able to actually (gasp) name another one of his movies.
I think that's part of it. He IS Bond. I don't mean he's the definitive Bond, I just mean, he's Bond because he's certainly nothing else. When I see him, I see Bond.
Also, being a huge fan of Fleming's Bond, whenever I'm (re-)reading Fleming, I'm picturing Dalton. Don't ask me why. And that's remarkable, considering that very little of what he did came from Fleming. He's certainly dark, like Fleming's Bond, and when he does quip, you're not waiting for rim-shots like with Moore. Whom I love, by the way.
There's a time and a place for ALL 5 Bonds. But if you care about Fleming's vision, it's Dalton, whose run was all too brief.

But, that's just me.

Hmmm, i equated DALTONITE with DYNAMITE, reason being Dalton was the most dynamic and powerful of all the Bonds.

As far as I am concerned I like the name "DALTONITE" for this group.
The name has "a catch" in it... it reminds of dynamite, as well as the
dentonite-toothpaste in LTK...bond together with Dalton...
I like it. =)

Don't have many details about this third Dalton movie but will do some kind of artwork soon. Its hard to find decent pictures at times and I only have simple software to work with.

But I'll be back with more!

Ritz! =)
Yes, your artwork is fantastic, I loved it!!I suppose You got my message?
Helsinki is ok...but of course I am biased to say more :) Yes it is a beautiful seaboard city, but at this time of the year it's freezing and icy and not so pleasant. You should visit Helsinki in the summertime! (I myself hate winter and envy you people there in the warm south)
If You ever decide to come to Helsinki, let me know, I can give You information.
