I always found it useful but our Westy got squashed last winter in our driveway by a falling hickory tree. Even before that my posts were vanishing and could only be seen by me in someone’s reply. 

Hope the list plays on but I put in my 20+ years and do not expect to get another Vanagon.  I enjoy the read but the need is gone.
