All of this is immeasurable, meaning that we on the list probably don't
have any way of examining it for certainty, but it may be that the task the
the list unwittingly set for itself when it was founded and has sloppily
been driven to complete by all us worker ants involved in it is reaching
some sort of critical mass of utility that could be called completion. With
the archives, the hooks in google, and the youtube videos this list has
generated, the gathering of parts sources that are part of it, the minutiae
of facts about model year changes and wiring diagrams and sensors that has
been recorded, the fact that there are a stable and maybe dwindling number
of our cars on the road, and the cumulative successes we've had in
improving, maintaining and restoring our Vanagons, maybe our job is done
and we don't know it and it's time to sit around the fire for a while and
talk about wheel bearings is if we were debating how many angels could
dance on the head of a pin.

It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to stop.
