Agreed wholeheartedly.

Bought the wife a '94 Nissan Pathfinder for a winter car.  Has a few
niggling issues. Things like electric door locks that lock themselves
at the most inopportune times.  Little stuff.  Went looking for a
Pathfinder list. There's gotta be one, they built these things for
ten years...  Nope.  Oh there's a couple Yahoogroups alright, with
about 200 members. Maybe one post a week.  Usually looking for advise
on installing 40" tires and the like.

gerry.vanagon.com and the knowledge-base we have here is unique.
