I don't frequently agree with William or Terry but I do in this respect. If
you don't like the posting, DELETE it. If you want to get off list, by all
means that is your prerogative. As for the list membership shrinking, I don't
agree. Although only Tom can truly track list size, I can say that the volume
of list mail has increased if anything.

Our beloved vehicles are getting older and succumbing to rust, accidents, and
just general overzealous recreational use. There will be fewer of these
vehicles on the road as time goes on. Thta also means fewer people will own
them. Consequently, those who move on to other makes and or types of vehicles
will no longer need to know about Vanagons.

Some people have just chaged their interest and or prioorities. Maybe their
PC broke or some such thing. I for one have become less active on the list.
This is not from list rants but simply because I am busier with other things
nowadays. I have not lost my interest in Vanagons. I still own three of them.
However, I own some 10 other vehicles. They need occasional attention too.

Anyway, that's my excuse. What's yours?

Is this list getting bigger? The volume of my list mail since to have
increased recently.
