I agree with Frank on the purposes of the list stickers. But I wonder how
many people who hit the front www.vanagon.com page will wander into the
"List" section.

How's this for an idea...we buy/register "vanagon.org" (yes, it is avail)
and set it up so that gerry.vanagon.com can also be reached at
http://www.vanagon.org ? Sure, we can put http://gerry.vanagon.com in the
sticker, but that might confuse some people. The reason is that much of the
public would not understand http://gerry.vanagon.com on a sticker. They
expect to see "www" in the front of the address for a website.

Since Ron had done the web work on both (THANKS Ron!!), the "look and feel"
would be the same on both sites.

BTW...I think Otmar has room (and then some) on the side of his Vanagon for
all the subscribe/unsubscribe commands!!!  ;)
