 RE: Vanagon Community
Joy, you have touched (very well) on a subject that comes up around the
WetWesties campfires frequently, the sense of 'community' we all find on
these Internet lists and especially on the road and in camp.  I've thought
about it a lot, it is unique in my experience.  I've explained, in detail,
to other friends of mine not part of this community, the origins  of PIFF
and the things that have been done through PIFF .  I usually get a blank
stare, total lack of comprehension.  I'm sure there are other groups that
come together because of a common interest but I have yet to hear of
anything like the Vanagon community. A great subject for discussion around
the campfire especially with a glass of good wine in hand....
