Jim has a day job and some days he just gets so disgusted with the
folks who routinely blow off the etiquette of this list that he has
to  walk away lest he say what he really thinks.

<deep breath>

Folks, as Mike says, "It's not Friday and it's not about Vanagons.
Take it off-list...." I'd really hate to have to moderate some of
you, but I am reaching that point.  There are about half a dozen of
you that apparently don't know what a calendar is and thus cannot
determine the day of the week. And... even on Friday, there should be
some Vanagon content. FWIW, I do not consider, "I was thinking about
<some totally off-topic subject> while washing my Vanagon." as
Vanagon content.

I am working on a new, concise set of RULES since it seems that we
cannot abide by the List Etiquette any longer. Go read the type2.com
charter*.  That's what's in the works.

If you wish to make comment, please do so off-list.  The
implementation of RULES is not open for on-list discussion nor is it
open to debate.  If you don't like it, go start your own damned list.
