This all from a guy that still has dial up.... ;^) 
 
(I like jabbing Mark on that one. I'm sure he'll retort with the "there's  
no other option where I live" he always does. It must be difficult living  
in the Stone Age.)
 
Mark, if you don't go to Corvair Center how can you claim to hate it so  
much?
 
One advantage, IMO, of the forum format is that you simply don't have to  
read subjects that you're not interested in, with VV you have to delete  
them. That might not sound like a big deal until you start thinking about
the  
silly posts, like the resent electrical puns on VV, that nearly wore out my

delete key. Another advantage of the forum is that you can search the entire

 post history right from the forum. I find that very handy in aiding my 
faulty  memory.
 
Bottom line is there's no reason both can't coexist as they do now. If you  
like the forum, use it. If you like VV use it. You can't please all of the  
people all of the time.

My  feelings on the Corvair Center vs Virtual Vairs is this. I don't go to
the  Corvair Center, instead use VV for multiple reasons. Call me an old
fogie,  but I hate the Corvair Center type of format. First, you don't get
it  emailed directly to you, you have to go after it. Second, you have to
hunt  for everything, and I don't have that much time to waste. And finally,
VV's  email format is simple to use and cuts to the chase.

The teen and  twenty-somethings can have all their techie, gee-whiz,
gingerbread sites.  All that impresses me not. I'm not online to be dazzled.
I'm here to get  info and to engage in any interesting thread that might
come up. The  principle of "KISS" for me, please. The Corvair Center can
KISS  off.

Corsa could be making money off the website, and driving people to  it.
Instead the site discourages people, and if you use it some of the  links
(shops / and chapters) take you away from the corsa site, no way to  get
through the link without it closing the CORSA site.
