Does anyone remember Gerry, the originator of the list? He was a great
moderator. It was vanagons or nothing! I would say he was a little to
strict. I would rather see him back, rather than all the post that
start with stupid lines like, "I don't no the answers but" or "I'm no
mechanic" etc. etc. He would have stopped these post also. If he
would be back, problem would get solved easily. We would also need
to have each day of the week setup for subjects that were a little
bit off topic.
