Thank you Frank. I am on the list to learn more about Vanagons, and am interested in modifications to gain increased performance, reliability and usefulness. I also like the community aspect, even though I might never interact with some of the list members otherwise due to opportunity or geography. I got a kick out of the link because it was in a Vanagon and I applauded the On Topic loophole. Much too much smoke & Fire about clamping down on offenders- we should police ourselves and not have the List Admin swinging into action. I think there would be very little 'adult content' sent to the list, less so after the public outcry. Isn't that enough? Don't folks get a hint? TBerk why so dramatic? |
