Re: Anyone looking for parts?

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe NGK is the spark plug of choice of quite a
few people on the list, plus, not all of us (I would even guess close to a
meager 1/3) actually do our own work so I would suspect that there are quite
a few of the Sciroccos and VWs in general on this list with non-German parts
on them.  Granted, they may not know it and wouldn't necessarily choose this
but still, just an observation.

This reminds me of Jonas and his typing dilema.  We all decided that just
DELETING was the answer since Jonas did have some good information/parts for
sale once in a while.  Why can't this be the same?  Why do we all have to
pay more money for parts when a few of us prefer German or dislike spamming?
Why can't the people who don't want to see the parts people have for sale
just delete?  I am not necessarily on either side of this, just "all for"
cheap parts.  JP is apparantly gone so we don't need to keep slamming him
but we do need to decide what we should do.  Either allow some type of
spamming (which is kind of a harsh word for what I am seeing as
"advetising"), or set up some type of parts forum that is linked to the
list.
