I should have mentioned that the file is compressed -- thanks to the
people at Booklocker. (As a marketing guru I'd make a good
mechanic... :-)

Thank you for buying it. I hope you find it useful.

Not to offend, but 19.2Kb ??
That is not even single band ISDN, are you on a wireless connection to
your Isp?

I live in the country on the planet of Wyoming. My provider says that
my slow connection speed is because of my phone line. I pay almost
$100 a month for just local calls. Getting satelite internet starts
at $50 a month. I've thought about trying DSL but I'm afraid to try
and figure it out. When something goes wrong with my computer, I
almost suffer a stroke. Right now, everything works but it just works
slow.

Your Isp should be able to tell you how far you are from their central by
your address. Given the distance they should again be able to tell you
what speed to expect with Adsl(or Sdsl).

Adsl should be much more stable than your current analogue connection.

I'm one of the lucky ones who acted in time to buy it in CD form (same number of
pdf pages as the download) from The Bus Depot, located in Pennsylvania. My
Netscape Bookmarks Manager shows that I added their webpage in Dec. 1998 and
last visited the page in Jan. 1999, so that had to be when I bought it. As Bob
has stated, it is longer available on CD.

Some of the archived RAMVA discussions on the Sermons, including why Bob pulled
them from the approved internet site (see first link below), can be found at:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...f634b46de43970
from March 1999 and
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...a898b13e7657f9
from December 2001.

Anyhow, who said oil changes and a full flow system are mutually
exclusive?

1) I just bought a copy also, and must add to everyone else's
"thanks". Good account of your years of experience.

2) I have noted for some time you love of "full-flow filter"
system for air-cooled VWs. It is definitely understood that
clean oil is the "life blood" of every engine.

3) Just wondering if you still believe it is needed for a crackpot
who changes his oil each week, or at 200 miles... whichever
comes last.

4) In original format, my 1972 Beetle takes 2 quarts (+).
Since this crackpot buys 100 quarts at a time, I pay $ 2/quart.

5) At $ 4 for an oil change, and 1 minute to drop the plug,
then 3 minutes to poor in the clean stuff.... I just cannot find
any excuse for Not changing it each week.

6) By the way, I bought this 1972 Beetle brand new from the
showroom floor, 35 years ago. It still runs beautifully.

7) The "full-flow" does not remove the acid buildup in the oil.
The "full-flow" does not remove the water condensation (from
those damn short trips in winter at - 10 degrees Fahrenheit).

8) The weekly oil change seems to me the best $ 4 I have
ever invested. Since I spend more than $ 20/week for coffee
for myself, this crackpot seems to thing that $ 4 is fair for
the reliable 35-year-old Beetle.

9) Would love to get your thoughts, not that I disagree with
the philosophy of "full-flow" filters, just that I attack the
"cleanliness belief" from a slightly different perspective.

I think the main issue with aircooled's is that folks DONT change their
oil / set the gaps etc etc when they should !

well done you, for being so good about it. - but for the average joe -
you must be able to see the advantages of full flow
