John,

You are providing a great service and for most things BTDT is the best
choice for 
publishing the gems from the archives.

Glad to hear that you are working on the menu layout.

I'm a believer in not reinventing the wheel, if a good wheel already exists.

Thanks for all your hard work on both BTDT and Vanagon Rescue Squad.

The area I want to focus on is "User Submitted Reviews".

A place folks can input actual experiences with tough choices like,

Shops
Tires
Engine Choices

The goal being to help us all be better informed consumers by sharing our
experiences.

Future possibilities:

Camping Gear
Vendor Satisfaction Surveys
Insurance Choices
Towing Plans
etc ... any areas that people feel are needed.

Van Pilots,

RE: BTDT website

Look for an improved menu system sometime this weekend.

And YES we do need content from everyone who has pulled up a GEM from the
archives.

Remember, the BTDT is a supplement to Bentley so when you're cussing Bentley
Publishing for being clear as mud on something you can find the same chapter
in the BTDT site by title or number with some real world tips and tricks.

And yes a  DVD is quite possible once the content is there.
