I am really happy that the List could help Dave make his vacation and also instill him with the confidence of knowing his vehicle. This is what the List is all about as far as I am concerned. Helping others with thier vans and by doing that helping them be able to have fun and have more confidence in what they drive and thier own mechanical skills. Also I think of the List as a group of friends that although diverse can get along and while we are sharing information about our vans can also share a little about ourselves. After all what would Volkswagen be without the "Volks"? I hope the List stays this way and doesn't become what some of the critical folks during the latest flame wars were calling for "strictly information about VWs only". Yes I like to learn more about the vehicle but also about the person who is driving it and how helping them will make a difference in thier life (like Dave getting to take his vacation). So I say keep the List a place where people can be themselves and keep it focused on Vanagons as well of course. Thanks for listening to my ramblings Ken Wilford John 3:16 |
