:::As was noted in another post you can find the archives through this

:::
:::Or if you just go to the vanagon.com website and follow the links

:::No, you don't have to read them all.  Nothing anywhere close to  this.
:::
:::The archive have a search feature.   Click on the link from the base
:::page that reads "Search the archives."
:::
:::At least 90% of the time you will get better info and get it sooner by
:::searching the archives for a half hour to an hour than you will by
:::posting and waiting for people to reply to your problem.   For many
:::problems you can find the answer in about the same time it takes to
:::write and post the email asking the question.

Ah, but Sam, you miss the point!  Posting is a social experience, you get to
bond with the other vanagonauts and feel yourself the member of an elite and
arcane tribe!

Whereas searching is a solitary, indeed lonely experience, with none of the
warmth of human contact that you get from conferring with your cyberbuddies
on the list...
