<VV> how many -- WHO CARES??? Aghhhhhh!

George / Guy / etc.-

I'm not that easy to get rid of, having been on here since the near-
beginning.  Yes, my delete key does get a lot of exercise...  The 
problem is a lot of other people (good people with lots of good 
contributions) don't have the patience / time / or maybe computer-savvy 
to make said shit-straining less onerous. They just want to 
*succinctly* discuss real Corvair issues. We've lost too many technical 
treasures like Larry Claypools, Steve Goodmans, etc. who get frustrated 
by wading through the incessant babblings of diarrhea-of-the-mouth 
sufferers.  VV Talk was created as a haven for the afflicted -- please 
use it.

I'm not sure if Bryan Blackwell has the ability to tell how many of our 
new VV subscribers unsubscribe within 6 months, but I'll bet it is a 
lot.  No new VV list "rules" are needed; people just need to exercise 
some common sense and SELF-restraint.  I've been on large mailists for 
a bunch of interests, but only VV seems to have such a chronic problem 
with this.  I'll try to keep any further replies on this topic 
offlist... others can go on listing the ins and outs of every parts car 
they have stashed out back in the weeds. We are all enthralled.  Let's 
all each post our tire sizes next.
