Where do you all find the time and energy to even bother with these "Flame
Fests". I just read the posts and laugh. Who cares? Life's too short. We all
have other things to do (we do all own Vanagons after all!!!).

This list is both wonderful and amazing in its knowledge base for Vanagons,
and incredibly petty in its sensibilities regarding anything else (politics,
religion, sweary words, sexual content etc.). There are some great threads
with NVC, and they are fun too - if not, we all have a delete button.

Live, let live, and ease up on the gas people!

just making an observation here..if you go back and look at the threads over
the last few weeks...there are more threads about people being upset with
each
other, threads about badmouthing someone's actions or beliefs, threads about
trashing someone's rep and putting them down, threads about people being
upset
with something someone says, or does.. -  THAN ACTUAL VANAGON RELATED
POSTS..

just making an observation.
and, yes, there is more dissention and animosity on this list, than any
other
list or forum i am on..
this list isnt what it used to be years ago.

just an observation and my 2¢

now, back to your previously scheduled flame fest..
