Ron,

With regard to your post, the inflection of your nuance was not lost on me, and
I wholeheartedly concur (with whatever point it was you made).

Speaking as a member of the Fruits, Flakes and Nuts Community in San Francisco
(of which our number is considerable), I take pride in my membership in this
often vitriolic, bombastic, but always entertaining forum.

Please keep up the good work. There is obviously more to this listserve than
simply articulating good ideas, engaging in intelligent debate, and serving as
a technical and support resource for Vanagon owners.

Dan

PS: I would welcome any ideas you have on great places to camp on the Medocino
Coast and surrounding area. My location in SF makes this an obvious option for
camping.
