In my opinion, the vanagon list-serve should be for ALL things vanagon:
mugs, models, fridges, leaky heads & fog lights.   My pet peeve is when
people put unhelpful "SUBJECT" lines, such as  "My questions" or "I dare
you to answer this".  These tell me nothing about the content.  PLEASE
let's all use the "SUBJECT" line intel-ligently i.e. helpfully, stating
the content! of the email.  On all subjects, there are certain 'market
forces' at work, if a topic (How do I install ear phone jacks in the
rear speakers?) generates a lot of traffic it is because people WANT to
talk about it,  I deleted most all of the CD related emails - unread,
but as they are vanagon related, I will defend to the death (of my
delete button) its right to exist on vanagon@vanagon.com.  In my
opinion, nothing is 'off topic' if vanagon related.  If no one cares, a
thread will die.  Maybe list-serve Netiquette suggestions could be
posted once a month.
My 3 cents worth.  Malcolm Stebbins
