agreed. nothing is easier than just having messages come in your email
program.. but maybe the archives could be a bit more accessible. something
like the analogue heaven archives maybe?

i've seen this before on a vw forum (hi trevor! no gti though, but a '76 t2b
westfalia bus) and in no time most technical questions were not answered
anymore because everything was split up. i personally hate web forums.
(forums? fora? forii?)

i think that's great. most lists where 'to all' is default lots of semi
private and irrelevant stuff ends up on a list. some yahoo groups are good
examples of that.. it's good you have to do some 'work' to post to the
list..;-)
