It's not unacceptable, just try to keep content relevant. These little side discussions tend to get out of hand. Nothing is stopping you from having a private email discussion with others who might want to discuss the same issues. > let's have a discussion here about this. if everyone wants to make this a > list solely for the purpose of discussing how to fix little problems (or > how to purchase an a4 for as little $$$ as possible) i have little > interest in continuing to subscribe. my interest in cars have always been > beyond the ownership day to day issues. There is no sole purpose to the list. There are lots of different types of Audi owners. Some are rolling in money and could care less what they cost to fix, and enjoy travelling to QCUSA events all over the country. Others (myself including) recognize that these are fantastic cars at a budget price, but very expensive to maintain IF you don't know the secrets of repair and where to get parts. Thought it's not your main concern, you have been able to share info on the V8 which others were unaware of. We will all have something to contribute at one time or another. > i can take the heat that my comments generate, but i don't want to be > accused of bringing up inappropriate subjects. i can always find > other places to debate my ideas.. No one was accusing you of that, just picking you as an example because you made the statement you were not interested in reading about repairs. Like I said, if the content is relevant, it's welcome, but when it starts to drift off into left field, it would be better to keep it private (hint: only 2-3 people mailing back and forth, as opposed to a wide discussion). I would consider splitting the list into a .tech and a .misc section, but I've seen what splits have done to Usenet groups and I don't want the quality of the posts here to drop off. | Dan | -- Dan Simoes dans@ans.net ANS http://coimbra.ans.net/dans.html 100 Clearbrook Road (914) 789-5378 (voice) Elmsford, NY 10523 (914) 789-5310 (fax)
