Not to make Friday non-F or anything, but didn't Gerry (you all remember 
Gerry, don't you?) mention that the volume of mail running through his 
machine was raising a few eyebrows among the powers-that-be at his 
University?

Didn't he ask people to maintain VW-content in list messages, and to keep 
sig length down to a "reasonable" size?  I really, really, value this 
list, and I'd hate to see it threatened as a result of non-VW traffic.

FFFridays are a great idea, but personally, the best FFFF here is 
VW-related.  I'll subscribe to a humour group for non-VW humour or 
alt.dinosaur.barney.die.die.die if I want a content-free email diet.

I like the fun on this group too, don't get me wrong.  But when the 
signal-to-noise ratio hits zero, and sigs constitute over half the 
message size, it's time to cut it out, or at least take it off-line.

And don't even bother flaming me for this: I'll don my nomex any day for 
VW-related flame wars, but I'll just delete any flames on this one.

I've said enough.  I'll leave the "cop" stuff to Gerry, since it's his 
list.  Sorry for the bandwidth.

Tobin (Who have a sense of humour.  Really.)
