"Wonder what they're trying to hide? "

At this point in time the Subaruvanagon list is somewhat closed.  You
have to be a member to access the materials, archived emails, files, and
pictures.

Some guy who runs a large "everything Subaru" site and list thought that
the subaruvanagon list should become part of his "world."  When Warren
Chapman, the moderator and founder of the list who has put countless
hours into developing the list didn't agree, the guy just threatened to
copy it all and put it on his list anyway.

The only means by which Warren could prevent this was to close the list
and be very careful about who he allowed to join.  I completely
understand why he has done this.

He is looking for some place other than yahoogroups to host the list and
is working with some volunteers about how to set it up with very useful
search functions.

So, if anyone wants those two photos of the "aerodynamic" vanagon and
hasn't gotten them from one of the others who volunteered to send them
out, let me know.  I'll check my email for this about 9 pm Sunday night
and send copies out.  I have them on my hard drive now so it will be easy.
