listvendor bashing posts that show up on the list - often wi= th no thought of
a alternative way of remedying the problem, prior to posting= ..   I for one,
tend to think that the majority of the list benefits from ve= ndors selling vw
parts, whether they be new, or used, here on the list.  = ; if there is a
problem, maybe try taking it up with the person/company/etc = you bought the
item from, rather than blasting it out to the whole list out= of frustration
and the intent to hurt someone?  while ron does this as= a business, and i do
not,(im lucky if i sell one used part every 2 weeks!)  =  he still struggles to
keep things going.. works long hours, etc..  and does t= he best he can. he is
a person, he is not perfect. but all it takes is one disgrun= tled listmember,
keyboard in hand, barrels loaded, ready to kill and maim.. &= nbsp;well, maybe not
kill and maim, but.. ;<)  anyway, think about being = glad, for once, that you
do have someone who most often times has the part you need, = and is willing to
sell it to you..  think of what is there was no "g= o westy" "bus depot" or
other independant list vendors to get the parts you need. &n= bsp; what would you
do?  you'd have to go to the dealer.  and pay out = the A$$.  or you'd have to
scrounge thru the junkyards, if youre even lucky enough to h= ave a vanagon in
a junkyard near you... i am on a few other listservs, and th= e vanagon list
is the only one that seems to have this problem..  anyw= ay, i hope everything
can be resolved between both parties. currently i am dealing= w/ a particular
listmember (you know who you are) who just has it out for me= , so i know how
others feel. ..  :<) anyway, please keep the persona= l problems off list..and
get back to vw's  :<)
i hope everyone has a nice friday
(whoa, i cant believe i just said that :<)
