Not really. The 'sermons' were the preaching of a grumpy opinionated guy and mostly applied to air-cooled busses. Among other things, Mr. Hoover has opined that Vanagons (and water-cooled VWs in general) were 'orphans' and would quickly rust away into oblivion.

I wouldn't take Bob's complaints too seriously. He's a notorious curmudgeon. This sort of thing was bound to happen, and if he's not willing to share his knowledge, in my humble opinion it's not worth being shared. There are many friendly knowledgeable people on the Vanagon list.
