This list provides dense, targeted information about EXACTLY what I want to know about, without any clutter: ads, stuff about cars I DON'T own, articals (sic) about things I don't care about, etc. Further: Why kill more trees, turn them into pulp, only to throw them into a hole in the ground? Why should I advocate ANOTHER piece of paper in circulation if I can possibly avoid it? (Sorry to anyone in the paper/tree/pulp industry, a pet peeve.) Finally: I value my half hour a day with my pals on the VW list, people I have come (in some way) to care about; but it is tough to find time for that. There's no way I could find time to read a paper magazine, especially one written by writers out for a buck, who I really don't care as much about. I'll stick with the list. My vote: "NAY" gmbulley fairfax, va |
