I dunno, I think old coggers are OK to be here and make list entry mistakes.
I'd rather NOT be preached to, or read the "Little cute Billy Graham
lessons" like "We asked HIM to get our of schools," etc., ad nauseum, or the
"so now get off our list" responses.

Personally I think the Billy Graham family are a bunch of deluded born
agains talking about god as though it/he/she is a personality and not
omnipresent or omnipotent and therefore in us all and in everything-- even
the comments like "do not post here," the nasty and mean comments of our
list and other such stuff. But for "God's sake" let's exercise the DELETE
key and not the "don't be here response."

Like it or not people are here first because of Vanagon ownership or
curiosity but also to belong.

But what do I know. I'm just a newcomer, who still has "not paid his dues,"
naive about a lot, an amateur to be sure but mostly grateful to the core
group who do provide information in spite of the superfluous non-utilitarian
entries from time to time.

I just deleted the Billy Graham crap when I realized where it was going. I
get enough of "them" on TV.

YET, I can not help but agree. I prefer this list to be practical, with
useful information only, relevant to Vanagon problem solutions.

Oh, yes. "God Bless America."
