Chris...

By far and away the general sentiment of this list is that we appreciate what you have done for us to the max!  There were, what... two or three complaints (and minor ones at that) out of how many dozens of comments?  Take heart man... we love you!  And so do your buses!  Don't worry about it.

    Chris, I am sending you via surface mail another order. This  is for 
    another grab handle on the passenger side door post. MO is enclosed in 
    the envelope. 

    Have deleted all the mail about good guy/bad guy Chris. What a PITA, all 
    that stuff

  thanks, i appreciate it.. 
  just doing this for a little while longer till i get rid of most of my stuff. 
   after this experience, id soon just get rid of it all and be done with it.   
  its not worth being permantntly branded like the way that guy did that to me 
  over a $25 item because i forgot to put some damn sheetmetal screws in the 
  box, and the delay from complications with my eye surgery. i couldnt even 
  drive for 2 weeks.  i feel like i gotta send a doctors note to the vw van 
  list.   
  i dont do this for a living, but it does take time.  with the feedback i get, 
  it seems as most people just want to complain. most people think that i run 
  some kind of shop or business, or big vw junkyard or something. it aint like 
  that..   they think and have  nothing better to do with my time than cater to 
  their vanagon parts needs.  ..  Im not Busdepot or Vanagain with shiny new 
  parts, big websites and next day shipping.  thats not me.  there are others 
  on the list who are also parting out vanagons, alot of people.  yes, i have 
  more vw van/bus related parts than the average person.. because i have a 
  place to store it, and its accumilated over the years.  you know, have space, 
  accumilate stuff.    and so i post it to the list , offering it to others who 
  may need it. i try my best to get stuff out timely, but i dont have a UPS 
  pickup service who'll come to my door everytime someone wants something. i 
  gotta drive 45 mins to the UPS ditribution center.  so i often get a few 
  things together to make the trip worthwile.   but i dont need all this.   i 
  dont want it to get to the point where i go to a vw function and feel 
  ostracized (sp?) from other listmembers.  all this sh*t in the past few days 
  makes me sick, wondering  why i dont just sell the 2 remaining vw's i own and 
  get a damn HONDA.   

  sorry, john, the above wasnt directed at you,  i am just venting..
