Volks,
I have had a lot of people write to me with many complaints about various
things. Namely content or lack of, flaming or public quarrels.
PLEASE let the stupid Tim vs Busdepot thing drop. We are all tired of
hearing about it. The issue has been put to rest - 90% of the list member
wants the list to remain the same as far as commercial posting goes.
1 - Please keep the content of all posts related to the Vanagon, Eurovan or
relevant Volkswagen / Audi cousins.
2 - If you have a complaint about someone's please ***P-MAIL*** them to see
if you can peacefully resolve it. If that fails or you just don't feel
that you can make a CIVAL suggestion please ***P-MAIL*** me and I will
contact that person an behalf of you. For those who do not know P-MAIL is
short for PRIVATE EMAIL. When replying to the message, hit REPLY and not
REPLY-ALL. If you hit reply-all the whole list will see it.
I would also like to announce that after one-month. I'm throwing the towel
in. I really don't have the time or resources to do a great job of
maintaining the Vanagon list. Between my 8 to 5 job of managing the
computer department of a communications store, my 10 month old son, my wife
and my second job of supplying parts for classic water-cooled Volkswagens.
It leaves little time for the list. I am sorry volks, my family comes
first, my job(s) come second and hobbies come third. I will still maintain
the list in the mean time, but I am looking for someone who can take over
my duties. Gerry (the server) has a home at my work (we are also an ISP)
so this isn't a major concern at this point. So, please send a resume
(PMAIL) to me listing why you want to be a list admin and what
qualifications or experiences do you have with mailing list, Internet, PCs
etc. Ron and I will go over the applicants and decide from there. Just to
let everyone know it was a tough decision, but the best decision for me.
Your son is only a baby once and I am missing it.
Good luck and thank you.
On the road of life there are administrators and there are vanagon list
administrators - resume wanted!
