Bill,

I stopped taking dope long before I metamorphosed into an old son-of-a-bitch.
 To set straight the record, here is what I wrote to someone else:

I don't know if you ever noticed, but I am quick to defend one's right to
post anything to the list as long as it not pornographic.  If a person takes
the time to pen an E-mail, the subject of that E-mail, whatever it is, is
important to him.  I spend as much time with our loosely structured family as
I do with any other group of people, so I would think little of myself if I
were intolerant of anyone's voice.

I was not criticizing anyone for their postings, I was questioning the
veracity of the claims made by TiiCo.  Like many others, I am looking to the
TiiCo conversion as the least troublesome way to rejuvenate my aging
Vanagons.  When I see the postings regarding the conversion, I have to wonder
how complete this kit really is.  To me, "Approved by VWSA" does not mean
that you should have to take measures to prevent a conflagration in the rear
of the van.  Instead, it means that all aspects of the conversion were
considered and tested by VW before the kit was offered for sale.  My question
goes unanswered: Is the TiiCo kit what is provided by VWSA to their dealer
network as a replacement for the WBX?
