I don't know if Caverat has a vested interest in this company or is just an
avid user. His enthusiasm is obvious. :)
I did appreciate the update that the free friends and family thing was
available again--I missed out on the last opportunity as I had just joined
the list when it ended. His willingness to share the info saved me $200+ on
an item I was getting ready to pay full ticket for. Thanks!!!
I'm in full support of this forum remaining non-commercial. That said,
there is a difference between company's that seek to market to our list and
Vanagon/Westy Owners that have related interests. I have found many of the
contributions from several of the business owners to be more directly
self-serving than Caverat's(can't see how he was making $ off our getting
free equipment) but still helpful and informative. It's obvious that they
love their Vanagons as much as we do and will go out of their way to help
others. As many have pointed out, that is the coolest part of this network
of experts and amateurs. Quite often I have little to no interest in a
particular thread and simply read on--I assume it will be relevant/helpful
to others and someday I may need that content from the archives.
I found the joke to be funny but somewhat questionable for a public forum.
I think that the post was meant to be a private email back to me in response
to my 9/15 post that I had ordered a unit on Monday and the company was
still taking orders. I'm in digest mode but still got a single email from
him with his comments.??
In my book if Caverat is guilty of anything it's a little too much zeal.

That's great, Caverat. The joke about eating pussy could have it pass on a
Friday, but that was sent on a Tuesday.
Until I hear from Tom Carrington that Tuesday has become the official
advertising day for completely off topic products and services could you
NOT spam us every week?
Last week it was about their specials. We remember your spam from a couple
months ago, you don't need to keep repeating it. It was a little bit
