dear the count

one of the most attractive things about vanagon gerry is that it is very
old school in design - the emails are my choice to open or not - i can
delete even after opening if i see it is not to me as such - i have saved
dozens with links to shops or people with various levels of parts or skills
they speak about in the discussions - there is no hierarchy - there are
moderators - it takes effort to respond or participate and sometimes it
requires thoughtfulness to respond -

i do not face book and it is very unlikely i will -
i tried it for a while - but i can not control your friends and lets say i
go to a gathering of some sort and there is behavior at that gathering i do
not wish to be associated with but somehow my image ends up in the group
photo shot taken right when that  behavior has reached the zenith -- then
one of your pals tags my image and the next thing i know the entire world
suddenly associates me with that behavior - no thanks --
so before all the conspiracy guys say - oh gee isn't he a little paranoid -
it has already happened locally where i was at an event and their hired
photographer included me in a picture - which i specifically asked him not
to do - then they produced a fund raising dvd for their cause - included in
that dvd was my image - when i approached the sellers of the dvd at fund
raisers they all said they were volunteers and had no idea what was on the
dvd - i called the head office numerous times - first with polite please
call me back - then with more upset my lawyer may be calling you - the dvd
disappeared at least from this realm  - the cause they were pushing may
have been noble in some ways it even had some good points - the group
pushing the cause - were a bunch of displaced folks attempting to stir up
public sympathy for their side by demonizing other other side - point is
the "other side" in this game was part of my income at the time and i
readily consume the product every day - still -

i realize this is not a facebook discussion as such -
