"...ramblings of Rush Limbaugh wannabe's..."? I see the non-vanagon
content prohibition does not extent to trashing other members of the list.
Four posts I placed here over three days. Three of these four in REPLY
to three others who commented on my first post. Much like I am replying to
yours now.
In none of these three posts did I disparage anyone nor they me; yet now
I am I publicly trashed with words like "crap", "drivel", and the like and
now this from you. Do the rules say I cannot reply to this trashing?
Can we not say that YOU are now continuing the detested thread? Or
perhaps the rules do not apply to righteous pilers-on who so closely follow
threads they then claim to have no interest in. But perhaps you now find the
thread interesting having discovered a chance to get in a few personal
insults. Did you insult me expecting no reply or did you purposely attempt
to PROVOKE a reply so that you may pile-on the more? Well, here is your
reply and your chance. Don't forget to include in your next post that the
continuation of the thread is completely my fault.
As far as Limbaugh is concerned I find him wrong as often as not. I
rarely listen anymore, preferring instead to go directly to the source.
Texts of actual legislation and transcripts of Congressional Committee
discussions that are posted for all to see on Government Web Sites. If you
do not consider government sources reliable then you are deeper into the
conspiracy theory than I. Perhaps you would like to drop in to the EPA site
and read about proposals to tax older vehicles that, having fewer pollution
controls, pollute more than newer vehicles. No, I guess this would not be
"Vanagon related" and we here would much prefer being notified of the tax
only after it becomes law. There are others like this but hell, who cares?
As regards the virus warnings several people have already been
inadvertently infected by virus transferred from the list. I appreciate
warnings and descriptions of new virus. Perhaps you would rather wait until
a virus announced itself on your computer but I prefer some notification
before this occurs. One would think that those who try to provide this
warning are trying to do the list members a favor but you seem to view their
attempts only as occasions for more complaints.
Ok, Im through. You may now once again carry on the thread by
complaining that I dared to respond to your personal insults the last time
you carried on the thread. And a reminder; Dont forget to say that it is all
my fault.

I love this mailing list and really don't get exited about the variety of
posts here. I like the trip and project reports.... and even the festival
alerts. However, I tend to side with Scott. I'm on here to get and share
information about vanagon's.... not to get 20 e-mails about virus alerts or
the ramblings of rush limbaugh wanabe's and their "govement" conspiracy
theories.
Rage on brother Scott.
