i'm not boasting, but I've alwasy used my " internet mail account "
for lists and such. my ISP mail is a diffrent setup, not to say I have'nt
got crap mail off a mail server before!! just a fact of life in informaion
age. I feel we have a great source of info on this list and it has really
helped my understand my rare breed of car.. AKA VW :)

LETS keep the peace and really not get too worked up.. I just hit the
trash key not even opening the crap mail in the first place.. * this sends
logs you know..

take care and HAPPY hump day.. doh!! ;p

If the list were closed and you were on the road and
needed to send mail to the list you could:

1) get a free "hotmail" (www.hotmail.com) or other web-based e-mail account
2) subscribe to the list
3) post your message from whateverfreewebmailserveryouchose.com

I think one could accomplish this in 5 minutes at
a public library or i-cafe.

Wouldn't this work?  In what situation
would one have access to the internet but be unable
to subscribe to the list?
