So true.  But tech problems put the list out for a while and folks went elsewhere (Facebook) and now most  haven't returned.  It is a shame, but the ability to send pictures etc.  can be big thing.
Thanks to all on the list for keeping it up/Dave B.

Mark,

The vanagon list was at least once used as an example of what technical
or hobby mailing lists should be ... people supporting one another, not
a social network of rumors, conspiracy theories and lies.  The vanagon
list has held true to those values all these years.  The main issue is
that both the cars, and us, are turning into antiques.

The list has as much value as ever to those of us that remain.
