Maybe we could get on the nightly news Internet report or something...there
was that thread on magnesium a while back.  Of course, that wouldn't really
draw in VW van fans as much as it would readers of alt.explosives.nuts

Seriously, I'd think we could get mention via letters to the editors of the
VW rags...anyone care to write? If not, pass on the addresses and I'll
write.

Of course, more numbers may mean more work for our benevolent list owner,
to whom I must defer. But if Gerald's up for more numbers, I'd be happy to
write the letters to the rags.

Thanks! Joe
