It seems that most of us get along quite well, in fact. The list seems to have less dissent than others I receive where people fight over treatment options and feel offended if someone is doing something different. I've been on the list for over three years now, and if someone wants to use what I have written, they are welcome (I don't have many problems with my van so I don't post much anymore--and I read it sporadically). Perhaps it's time to get listmembers to sign a waiver to permit things like CDs of Vanagon archives to be published. A complicated task for sure. I, for one, am sorry that it won't happen--it could be quite useful to me. Anyway, the list is still full of useful information and experiences and seems far from dead. __________________________________________________________ Donald Baxter Atlanta, Georgia dbax@mindspring.com dab1@jhk.com donald.a.baxter@cpmx.saic.com "It's not the end of civilization--it is, however, the end of civility." --Mrs. Cage (as played by Anne Bancroft) |
