I've been here since I was using AOL and I'd have been there at the 
beginning if I had known about the list 18 months earlier. (Is that 
right?, time is a slippery thing.)

I used to Patrol, Police, and NetCop a lot more, heck I used to 
actually DRIVE a Scirocco once upon a time.

These days I hope to balance my Coffee Clutch musings alongside my 
dedication to responding to simple to answer questions. I feel an 
affinity to Newbies to the Scirocco/VW world and don't mind dealing 
with the often asked question.

Nonetheless there have been quite a bunch of actual Heavyweights 
remove themselves from the list over the years, to my sorrow and our 
collective diminishment.


Whether they found it to be too much, or too little, or got run off- 
we all lose.
