Where is the Vanagon content in THIS statement? Is it friday already? What
was gained by posting a link to a completely unrelated forum, discussing a
topic not even remotely vanagon related? Does that somehow make Tom not
eligible to post here? I personally enjoy the free flow of VANAGON related
thoughts here, and I'd hope that most listmembers would correct a mistake
with a smile, not a fist.
YMMV,
Don
