Hi Richard
Heidi would not be interested in helping me sort through vanagon posts.
I’m actually a member of the FB list you mentioned and about 4 others. I just don’t find them very helpful and I find the format and the chatter time wasting.
Still, I keep my account and when I’m stuck somewhere like an airport for hours I’ll spend time there.
It’s all good.
I just think this list is still for me incredibly helpful, positive, and functional.
Someday maybe something will replace Facebook that works even better. That is the likely hood of the fast pace of tech.
Meanwhile Keep posting both places and enjoy both.
Best,
Eric

The pics and stuff are SO worthwhile. Your blindness, maybe Heidi can help. But please, give FaceBook Vanagon Owners group a decent chance. Or not. Try it at least for a couple days before deletion. Crap, I know for sure I'm gonna get lots of hate mail on this one; actually, probably none, they will just ignore and delete. I am willing to take the risk for the good. Yes, the FB thing is a good one.

Time for a change. Try it for a couple days. Delete if not happy. But I think you will be happy and delighted. Otherwise I would not have suggested. And, we crave your wisdom.
