Mark, et al.

It is my opinion as one of your Moderators that this subject has run it's course. Please refrain from any further discussions on this subject as well as the initial 'snark'' attack thread. We are getting distracted from the subject at hand which is the care and maintenance of our beloved Vanagons.

Please take your discussion or go to pmail. Your anticipated cooperation will be appreciated.
