Somebody correct me if I am wrong here: A few weeks back some people
got (understandably I guess) a little bent out of shape about all the
non-VW related content of the list. There was a general feeling,
however, that a good part of it was what made the list the interesting
creature it has become. As a compromise someone suggested adding
an [f] F f, you name it, to the subject heading when the message
strayed too far from the suject at hand. That would be VW buses.
Then, the offending message could be done away with one
activation of the left middle finger, not what you are thinking. Some
of us, trying hard to keep harmony in the world, have stuck with it.
So f means fun here. It will probably tell you very little about your
ride but if you have a minute it might bring a smile to your face.
