I really hate to add to this thread piling up in everyone's mailboxes, but
since it seems to be coming to some sort of vote or so, I felt I should
probably speak up. I appreciate the vendors information on the list. They
will often give great information on what part you need for what...being
new to vw's something that I don't know much about...they don't demand that
if they tell you what part something is or what something should cost that
you buy it from them. I probably will buy some parts from them, I probably
will let my local vanagon repair place provide me with others. Yes, it is
some advertising...but I almost always learn something.

Here is my suggestion. Several lists that I am on have multiple subject
headings . It isn't a list sever setup...it is something you have to type
in every time. For example, those emails that contain advertising for parts
could put [ad] at the beginning of the subject line, someone selling their
vanagon or giving us listings from their local papers could put [fs] etc.
Then if you don't want to read the posts from those on the list that are
also vw vendors letting you know what is available (often at a vanagon list
discount from what I remember noticing)...you can just DELETE.

Where this fits into David's list of choices is leave things as it
is...just add subject header.

Cheers,
Kriss
