I hope... hope springs eternal... ;) maybe in a month... then I buy a VW Caddy for a fair price and find out it's been butchered, have it torn apart right now putting the alt and a/c back in... hopefully the a/c will work. getting 40mpg and having things start to work as designed is fun... seriously considering a newer TDI for our main vehicle. trying to decide if I'll keep it and superdawg... 40mpg makes sense, but I've gathered up most of what's needed to do SWVO in the J10, trading a fuel tank for a fuel selector valve, then will just need a heater and pump... :) the only project that has been a worthwhile adventure is the '91 300D... what a great car... sure, it still has a wonky glowplug controller, traction control is dead, a/c is on life support, but with 260k+ we put Diesel/BioDiesel in and go. my son just bought a mazda 929s from a friend, and can't bear to part with his '85 300d... or his '85 GW... but he's limited to 2 vehicles, so he's likely to sell his '85 GW... nice 2" lift kit, BFGs, pretty straight, runs well, anyone interested? we're not sure what it's worth at this point... maybe 2k? maybe a bit less? and of course the '99 WJ has been basically problem free... but thirsty... that 4.7V8 on Amsoil synthetic is ok on the freeway though... lots of power... love the seats, not crazy about the visibility, an FSJ and XJ is better. but, then you get to the house... ouch... right now starting to sell stuff off to help cover the roof project... need to replace the aging shake roof... at first we thought composition... but bids were 3k to 15k more than we had budgeted for... and the quality of the material was horrible... our house is small but has a lot of character... going to comp would ruin it... but shake was 2x what we planned for... but because the entire market is depressed one of the best quality roofing outfits in the area came back with a sweet deal to do shake... orig est was 20k, dropped it down to around 14k... so, we went for it, only a few K more than lesser quality comp, but we had only saved 7k. SO... we're putting stuff up for sale... hoping to sell before the roof is finished so we don't have to borrow too much to pay for it... hate to part with the J10 hydraulic dump trailer... got it on ebay: 160439608727 I kind of hope it doesn't sell... but if it does I still have two pickups and not much use for the dump trailer... most of the major yard/garden work is done now. Really need to part with wagoneers.com domain, it has too much traffic to host at home, and because I'm not really doing anything to make money with it it's pointless for me to hold on to it... have it on ebay as well: 160439829555 - this I hope sells... will drop down to two, or maybe even one domain... :) stick my server in my office and have DNS pointed to it... should work fine... while ebay has a free listing sale I may put more of my FSJ toys up on ebay, got a bid on one really rare one... ebay: 160439935948 (just search on the number) or look for dieseljohn. we've also decided to get into wedding photography... hoping to get the roof paid for very quickly... it's going to look great... the quality of the shake is twice what the house was built with; hand selected original growth cedar from Canada... pictures of course will follow... of course it has to stop raining before they can put it on... :) and just looking at the weather, it appears we're in our normal spring weather pattern, which means it won't stop until JULY 5th. :) So I've got some time to sell stuff... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 si vis pacem, para bellum http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 14:12:53 -0700 From: "Paul & Megan" Subject: fsj: 1991 Wagoneer - Only $30K - Not Mine http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/1763024006.html Nice rig, but $30K?

This file may be found on the web at http://www.digest.net/general-notes.txt [last revised 5/1/02; removed list of spam strings, as i'm not the only one filtering on them -- rpw] Additional information on Digest.Net's spam policies may be found at http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html and http://www.digest.net/blocked.html Table of Contents 1. Why don't my postings go through? 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? 3. How do I post to the list? 4. Where are the archives? 5. What other lists are on digest.net? 6. Is there a web subscription form? 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? 8. How do I contact the server adminstrator in an emergency? 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? The Meta-FAQ 1. Why don't my postings go through? There are several things that may interfere with postings making it to the list. a) Are you a member? Some read the ftp archives rather than receiving the list in email. Persons who read the list via email are automatically members, but readers of the FTP archive are not, and need to contact me (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) and get your name added to the list of "permitted senders". b) has your email address changed? some of you have had changes in your email address. your old address still works, and is still on the list, but your From: line shows a new address. this can happen for various reasons; you may have changed jobs or ISPs, and left a forward in place, or your IT staff may have fiddled with the email system. you will need to unsubscribe your old email address and subscribe the new one. this may require my involvement, if you can't figure out a way to get your old address off the list using the conventional majordomo commands. you can use the majordomo "which" command to probe for old addresses. send a message to majordomo-at-digest.net with one or more which commands in the body, one per line. to check for potential addresses for Fred Flinstone, formerly of bedrock.org, the following commands can be sent: which flintstone which bedrock note that the matches above might return any of the following addresses, if they appear in the list (in other words, you can use vagueness and incompleteness in your recollection as a tool): Fred.Flinstone-at-bedrock.org fflinstone-at-wilma.bedrock.org flintstonef-at-bedrock.com c) do you have more than one email address? if so, only the subscribed addresses can post, unless you contact me (see 1.a) above for relevant information) d) are you using (intentionally or accidentially) special "features" of your mail client? [this section is no longer operative, as the demime software now strips html, attachments, rich text format, etc. from postings automatically.] e) are your posts too large? there is a 10,000 character limit on posting sizes; this is done for various reasons. you can always split up large postings to get mail through. f) are you including majordomo commands at the start of your message? administrivia control is turned on; this is a trap for things like "unsubscribe" at the start of a message. try to avoid obvious majordomo commands in the subject and the first 10 lines, or misspell them in obvious ways (e.g. unzubscribe, 1ndex, h3lp, g3t, etc.) g) are you triggering spam traps? some things are red flags; for example, many phrases found commonly in spam are automatically blocked. h) are you using "funky" character sets? [7 bit restriction lifted experimentally on 8/2/00 -- film at 11] unfortunately, there are "issues" if i permit any character set other than old fashioned 7 level ASCII; therefore, you need to avoid national character sets that include various accents, umlauts, national currency characters such as the British pound symbol, etc. i) are you unintentionally including complete digests in your reply? You need to check and make sure you cut down replys to the minimal size; digests are between 20,000 and 25,000 characters in length, and if you include a complete digest in your reply, it clearly won't make the 10,000 character limit. By the way, this feature is intentional. j) Are you using a "bad" ISP or mail relay? See http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html for more information about Digest.Net policies about email. k) Is the error message you get back "User Unknown"? If so, you may be running afoul of spam control severices (again, see http://www.digest.net/email-policy.html) When these services register a hit, the error code 550 is returned. 550 is a generic code that many broken mail systems report as "user unknown". The "rejectlog" entries for the previous day's mail traffic on digest.net may be viewed at http://www.digest.net/rejectlog.01 Some of you may find it useful or instructive to use the telnet program to connect directly to port 25 on krusty-motorsports.com and see what kind of reply you get; this requires some technical knowledge and is not for everyone (you can get out of this at anytime after the initial banner simply by typing quit and hitting enter.) l) Is SMTP over TLS involved? This is a bit esoteric, but as of 8/8/01 the digest.net mail server will attempt to use "TLS" (Transport Layer Security) for outbound mail if the destination mail server offers it. SMTP over TLS is fairly new technology, and a bit buggy. I am monitoring the logs on the server, and when I see TLS related problems, I manually place the problem destinations on a special exception list; however, this may delay email to the destination host until I make the exception. 2. Why can't I unsubscribe? a) are you using the right address? send to majordomo-at-digest.net, and the command format is unsubscribe list-name my-email-address b) has your email address changed? majordomo has no way of knowing that Fred.Flinstone-at-BarneyCo.com was once fflintstone-at-bedrock.org. you can check this with the which command (see 1.b) above for details) 3. How do I post to the list? You may use either one of two addresses: for example, the bmw-digest may be reached using either bmw-at-digest.net or bmw-digest-at-digest.net If you are using the correct addresses and your posts don't show up, check out the stuff in 1. above. 4. Where are the archives? see ftp://ftp.digest.net/ for digest archives. the web archives have proven problematic, and are awaiting time for a systematic attack on the problems they've been having. 5. What other lists are on digest.net? see http://www.digest.net/ for more information. 6. Is there a web subscription form? Yes, recently added. go to http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi 7. Why not move the lists to someplace like (egroups, topica,...)? The Krusty Motorsports server (aka, digest.net) was explicitly to provide for efficient management of the various automotive mailing lists, done the way that the owner of the server wanted it done. Any migration off of the server (which is already bought, paid for, and configured) would create any number of issues. 8. How do i contact the Server Administrator in an emergency? If my regular email address (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com) isn't working for you, you can fall back on rwelty-at-suespammers.org 9. What is Krusty Motorsports, anyway? Krusty Motorsports (http:/www.krusty-motorsports.com/) is a business which is owned and operated by Richard Welty (rwelty-at-krusty-motorsports.com). Krusty is an S-Corporation in the State of New York. Krusty provides a number of Internet related services, such as mailing list, web sites, pop3/telnet accounts, and consulting on internet related issues.
