[Vwdiesel] Let's move on...

 	It's definitely an option.  All you have to do is to drop a note to
Dan and volunteer to become the pissing post.
	This has all happened before, with similar results. We set up the
wart list a couple of years ago to handle OT rants after a previous
eruption, and that's why Lee, James and I, all of whom have been subscribers
here for quite a few years, all suggested strongly that Hagar take his rants
there- he is a subscriber- before somebody got honked and left.  
	The difference this time is that we lost one of the guys who set the
list up through Dan when we lost our original host. Loren has been utterly
selfless in offering his experience and help to neophytes over the nearly
ten years that I've been a subscriber, and it's a crying shame that
something so preventable happened.
	We have had a tradition here of tolerating freewheeling rants when
someone blows a cork, and some of those episodes have been both entertaining
and edifying.  But expecting every listee to forebear a daily dose is asking
a bit much.
	The wart list is run through yahoo lists.  Due to their
spammer-friendly policies, I shut off open enrollment and will have to
figure out how to add subscribers via pmail requests to me. I hope I didn't
scare anyone off last month with warnings about needing a helmet and nomex
underwear; it's nowhere near a flame-fest anymore.

You know, other lists I subscribe to have a moderator.  If people get too
rude, spammers infiltrate, or the topics get off subject too far, they start
to kick people off.  Does this list have that?  Is it an option?

I hate to see the Hard Core VW Diesel folks like Loren leave.
