Yeah. I'm one of those that feels that dumping cold air on the head of your
kids in the back seats is NOT nice. I never open the back FRESH AIR vents in
the winter.  Also, pushing hot air up is cunterintuitive to me.  I leave the
windshield one closed halfway when I really want to heat the van -- I NEVER
get fogging -- even with no blower fan (case right now) The air will rise by
itself eventually -- you don't want to push it there do you?  The "flow" is
FRESH AIR.  NO HEAT in this air.  Do we really want to push cold air to the
back of the bus? 

Help me out here -- I'm lost.  Of course, my heater fan's shot anyway, so 
I shouldn't even be taking part in this discussion -- I also have air in 
the system.

Later.
