I first got into the VW thing (this time) was right about the same
time I got into the whole interweb thing. I would spend hours and
hours on RAMVA. (rec.auto.makers.volkswagen.aircooled) The news
group,these days I don't even have a news reader. It is now all over
on google:

I also miss the HVWC email list, but after Don died it was pretty
boring anyway. It went away when HVWC went to a forum:
http://hvwc.org/
These days there seem to be way to many forums:
There are some other lists that I am on as well:
http://wetwesties.type2.com/ http://www.buskatiers.org/ The type2 and vintage bus lists at: http://www.type2.com/

FIRST, I'd like to welcome all the new subscribers. I'm the resident email
"nazi" because I have been running my own mail server since the mid 90's
and am the mail server administrator for an ISP. I am NOT an admin on this
list -- direct all questions or change requests directly to Dan Martin. My
next message (some time late tonight) will contain a few pointers for
managing list email. If you think THIS list is high volume go sign up on
the Type2 or VintageBus lists.
Konrad -- I'm sending a copy of this message DIRECTLY to you as well as to
the list in case Dan has already unsubscribed you. It offers you an
alternative way to keep up with traffic here. You're the only one I've
noticed requesting to be unsubscribed rather than having digest mode set.
Dan, if I missed any recent unsubs please forward this to them if you can
find their addresses in the message archive.
This is the SHORT reply. The LONG rant about forums will come later when I
have a bit more time. Right now I'm cleaning out the '69 that will be
donating its frame to the Bradley and I'm emptying out the Rivi so I can
get rid of the ant bed that formed inside due to the recent rain <sigh>
Now,
Reading online...
You can do the same here:
//www.freelists.org/list/tcb
Links on that page to the archives and for those who use RSS you there's a
link to add a feed to your reader.
The "Archives" link is where you actually go to read the email posted to
the list.
If you use the "Log in directly to this list" link you can change your own
settings (like turning digest on/off or subscribe/unsubscribe).
Log in and set yourself on "Vacation" mode. It will stop sending you emails
to your inbox BUT you are still subscribed and can send messages to the
list (which you read online through the archive).

I don't care for the boards like Aircoolers. As one of the more active
BSers here (remember that if I don't post Dan calls me on the phone and
asks what's wrong) I would prefer a Yahoo or Google Group. They are free
and you can choose to have the posts sent to your E-mail or you can read it
at the site, so it offers the choice.

He did not sound thrilled, but he did not seem to have a problem with it. If anyone wants to ask around or build a board for us I have no problem with it.
