aware there's an alive and well FAQ at www.vanagon.com, or at least it was
there a minute ago.

> The solution for a more managable list (and thereby obtain more civility) is to get a robust FAQ up and running so that the sheer volume of frustratingly oft-repeated questions (such as "what tires do I buy") can be answered without taking up the important social bandwidth of the list. Much of the frustration is with the VOLUME of mail, not necessarily its content.
