I go to a bulletin board type site when I'm looking for the answer to a specific question or want some entertainment, this e-mail is part of my life. E-mail is there without me having to go look for it and I always check my e-mail. <shrug> Things do change and if this list turns into a bulletin board I'll miss it, but I suspect people will get a Vanagon list going if that happens.
