I think there would be too much overlap in subjects. Perhaps we ought to
include a pre-defined subject, such as the examples you provided, in each
posting's subject.

I might suggest an alternative purpose for the forum(s). This is sometihng
I have been thinking about for vanagon.com...
Set up a forum for vendor bashing/loving. This way it would stay off the
list(s) but would give people a place to go for anecdotal infomation on the
various vendors. My thinking was to break it down by category:
Engine Rebuilders
Parts suppliers
Engine Conversions
Accessories Suppliers
Etc.
What do you think?
