Dear Ranting One ..........
hey, if they said the location........man, that's rare, and hugely useful !
I am also very into what the color is......
and of course.............what type of trans, whether it has PS or AC etc.
or not........
very very important..........
but, you fail to understand one thing .........one simple
thing............'many people' these days do not naturally include all the
useful or pertinent information......
either they don't care, or they think you can read their mind.  But it's
pervasive, this tendency.
   Twenty years ago it simply would not happen.....
that someone would offer something for sale and leave out basic information
like location or transmission type.  Now, we see it all the time. It's
called the Decline of Civilization...........sadly.
How odd........we are ABLE to communicate instantly and world wide like
never before, but the ABILITY to communicate clearly is going down the
toilet.
What should be 'more' conspires to actually be 'less' ........he sys
cynically.
But let's try to have a sense of humor about it !!
it's our only hope.
And besides..........if they don't include pertinent info.....I guess they
don't really want to sell it actually.
So is the van in question any good, or the price low, etc ??
