Subject:Re: How many Vanagon list members (and my brakes)

What can possibly be gained by filtering those members most willing to help?  Sure, sometimes
the discussion gets off topic, but those are often the most interesting.  A good argument is
always more fun than a bunch of people saying, "I agree."  It certainly beats several common
threads.  Like Stan, I have an air-cooled Vanagon, so I have no interest in the water based
discussions, and no expertise to offer.  I find I can delete 75 messages, reading the ones that
interest me, and even answering a couple, in 5 to 10 minutes.  What's the big deal?  If you
don't have 10 minutes, you don't have time to keep your Vanagon running.  Also, if you are
having a problem with storage on Hotmail, pony up the 20 bucks a year for the enhanced service.
Better yet, register a domain and put it on a free host.  Then you can set up your own
mailboxes.  I know a host that is free, and with no banners or popups.  Pmail me if interested.

Now, let's talk about my brakes.  The pedal goes almost to the floor.  If I pump them up, I can
lock up the wheels, but steady pressure and the pedal slowly goes down.  Is it master cylinder
time?  Is it possible that bleeding would fix this?  Is there a brake witch on the list who can
fix them with a spell for a good price?  Where is Hermione when I need her.  A wave of the wand
and everything would be fine.
