>> I signed up for this mailing lis last weekend, so far it seems like a
bunch of bored people venting..
this is about vanagons right? <<

Aw c'mon. Some of us take time from our busy schedule to vent. ;)

Actually, this is a really really high traffic list. That being said I will
say this list has the most knowledgeable people and vendors on it to keep
your Vanagon running for years. I would suggest setting your email to digest
and get 1 bit email a day if it gets too heavy.

And also, Friday's are pretty much a free-for-all fun day to post.
