All of this is immeasurable, meaning that we on the list probably don't have any way of examining it for certainty, but it may be that the task the the list unwittingly set for itself when it was founded and has sloppily been driven to complete by all us worker ants involved in it is reaching some sort of critical mass of utility that could be called completion. With the archives, the hooks in google, and the youtube videos this list has generated, the gathering of parts sources that are part of it, the minutiae of facts about model year changes and wiring diagrams and sensors that has been recorded, the fact that there are a stable and maybe dwindling number of our cars on the road, and the cumulative successes we've had in improving, maintaining and restoring our Vanagons, maybe our job is done and we don't know it and it's time to sit around the fire for a while and talk about wheel bearings is if we were debating how many angels could dance on the head of a pin. It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stop.
