Thanks for the input Tim - all are very valid points.  The BIG problem with
the list is a lack of oganization like you have stated.  We need people to
take over as a FAQ admin and perhaps form a welcome wagon commitie.
Personally, I *do not* have time for it.  I wish someone would step up to
the plate and take on a few responcibilities.  I have no control over the
http://www.vanagon.com site - this is still Ron's.  If we want to post
these FAQs and other stuffs at www.volkswagen.org you are welcome to it.

I feel a Vangon for sale / parts wanted web site is a good idea.  I will
gladly host this if someone writes an automated posting system that is
compatible with IIS3.0.

Food for thought I guess - I'm too full at the moment!

PS.... EVERYONE please P-Mail me about this.  I want to find out who is
willing to do what.  Then we can act upon it from there.  (Too much fluffy
list traffic!)
