(OT-ish) Musing on the state of affairs

[SequoiaGLX at twcny.rr.com (SequoiaGLX@twcny.rr.com)]

Maybe, maybe, it gets a little harsh, but I certainly haven't ever noticed it.

You have to admit this is one of the friendliest VW forums/lists.  Try going onto the Vortex and asking a question.  You probably will either get flamed or ignored.

It's also one of the most tolerant of OT posts, as long as you have the courtesy to mark them as OT...
