Listen, I don't have any hard feelings about this and if you want to talk
about air flow and ducting, then by all means go for it.  The thing I was
getting upset about was that the discussion was telling folks that the scoops
that I was selling would actually hurt the driving performance of their van
because (insert technical mumbo jumbo).  This basically kills any chance I
had at selling them on the List and that is what hurt.
And what was all this "nay" saying based on?  Conjecture, and tests done by
NASA and Formula one racers.  In case you haven't noticed a Vanagon doesn't
travel at anywhere near the speed of a Formula one car much less a super
sonic aircraft.
So can you honestly say that a "scoop" on the side of a Vanagon is going to
mess up its laminar air flow.  I say "What laminar air flow?  Its a brick for
Pete's sake not an airfoil!"

Anyway it's Friday, I've already sold the airscoops, have a great day!

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
