im on 3 listservs - the vanagon list the bus list, the passat list, (digest)
and the quattro list.    the quattro list is the only list that seems to have
a problem with people posting stuff FS whether it be cars, or parts, to the
list.   its a welcome practice on all the other lists im on, and the vw bus
list has ALOT more traffic than the quat list.   These are automotive lists.
people talk about their cars.  cars are composed of parts. people need parts
to make their cars run. people that are into a certain marque of auto often
collect parts, as a hobby for their own use and sell what they dont need to
pass on good deals to others for hard to find parts or parts that are NLA.
(no longer available) More often than not, people who are in the old car
hobby like to get a good deal on a used part or car rather than paying full
price for it at the dealer.  People also come to these lists when they are
seeking a certain model of car, and benefit for the cars FS postings.   i
think the myriad of tech tips, stories, postings FS, and whatever else make
these lists interesting to read.  its nice to be able to see stuff FS posted
to the list without havign to go to some  site and type in your password and
all that nonsense to view or post stuff.   ive been on this list for quite a
while and never even used the marketplace, and didnt even know it existed....

anyway, this is just my opinion.
