Dr. Woitok, the Bulletin Board is not intended to replace or compete with the
mailing lists.  It is for topics like good camping and off road areas, and
product info and events/news postings that would be of value to have
accessible from the site, and which may not always be welcome on the lists.
It is also for info that gets discussed ad naseaum on the lists, like tires.
WHo knows, it may not generate any interest, in which case it will be junked.
