I have begun to sort threads in file folder for future reference.

You may wind up paving your path to hell that way... you can pretty quickly
wind up with an overwhelming amount of disorganized information. I'd suggest
getting a gmail account just for the Vanagon list and subscribing from it,
even if you're still going to use your current account for daily reading.
That way you'll eventually build up a sort of personal archive as the time
goes on. There's an archive file that you can get that has the entire list
traffic from the beginning up to about a year-and-half ago. You can read it
in Opera and a few other email progs; I loaded it onto a laptop and carry
that around on trips and it's been helpful a few times now, particularly
since you can access it offline. Much of the older information is just way
out of date; I doubt there's anything beyond the last five years that hasn't
been covered to greater effect in that time.

Cya,
