Hello Volks,

   I'm looking forward to ordering the stickers. I'm sure you are too. Let me 

just say that I hope that any list picked displays "vanagon.com" very
prominently. Prominent enough that the other cars passing you, on the left of
course, can read the "vanagon.com."  (For those of you with ceramic coated
engines or I5's presume that I meant your vanagon was passing traffic.)

   The sticker can do two things. It can identify us to other listmemebers.
Any of the designs would do that. I admit that most of them are very
interesting and would look great on my van, especially the pseudo-deadhead
stickers. But the sticker can advertise our list to nonmembers. Most of the
more complex designs make it difficult to see our wepgage address. The
stickers which say "vanagon.com" very prominently will advertise our site

better. 


   Remember the first time you say a "Role/Hemp 96" sticker? (I'll bet Bob
Dole loved that) "Ex-wife in trunk"? Stuck in your mind, right? I suggest

vanagon.com, not a cute saying or even gerry.vanagon.com. vanagon.com can

stick in the minds of people passing our vans. I make my living selling ideas
to people. Simple works better.

   Of course, you'll see that I have submitted just such a simple sticker. 

However, my vote will probably go to Ron "Mr. Roadcow" Bloomquist #4 because I
like his rainbow colors much better. 


   AP: Early polls suggest that going coming out of Super Tuesday Bloomquist
#4 has a slight lead over the McCain Straight Talk Sticker. McCain has
countered with accusations that Mr. Bloomquist has spent far too much time and
effort on the stickers.  McCain also claims that Bloomquist is anti-Catholic
and is possibly anti-Hindu, given is sacriligious use of the road-COW.

   Not proofed for spelling cauze I'm incapable of doing so.
