eric zeno wrote that.   and i just got a p-mail from him that i would rather
not post to the list.
anyway for the record,  i initially set this up as a get together...  which
turned into a campout..     someone suggested green lane park because it's a
nice venue (minus the anti-pet rule and lack of electric hookups, but i digress)


it was not setup as promotional event for ron's busdepot.

i sell used vanagon parts as a hobby.  ron sells new vanagon and bus parts as
his business.  other than living near eachother, we are not associated in any
other way..
i gained nothing from this event, other than a few guys who stopped by my
folks farm sunday morning to pick up some parts they had asked me about months
ago and it was easier for them because they were already in the area because of
the campout.

if ron wanted to set this up as a promotional event he would have, he didnt
need me to do it for him..   i dont work for him.  there was nothing in it for
me, other than the chance to meet listmembers..which i regret not being able
to come..

so eric, and others, please dont ASSume stuff.
