Dave,

I mean no offense here - but I cannot think of a better way to word this:

I think that the experience you describe had a lot to do with the wording
you chose when you were criticizing.

I think that a lot of people had a hard time telling from some of your posts
why you owned a Vanagon at all - and I only say that because your wording
really made it look like you despised the thing.

Just my .02
