If you haven't been onto the Yahoo group vintagevacuumdustcollectors, you may wish to click onto it. Often some interesting items appear there as well as posts from collectors one doesn't hear from often on vacuumland.

This yahoo group is owned and moderated by Richard Klein, a former VCCC president and newsletter editor. Richard has a great deal of vintage vacuum knowledge and an interesting collection and is glad to answer questions, when he is available. Richard is spiderider on that forum.

Spam City

Unfortunately, vintagevacuumdustcollectors was so overridden by spam, I had to give up and leave the group. I'm sure spiderider's a good guy, but the spam problem wasn't getting addressed. I offered to help manage the group, everything- no resolution there, either.

Too bad- there are some nice people on that list.

I agree about the spam

I agree about the spam at vintagevacuumdustcollectors. It keeps me from going there very often too. It's only in the last month that I've noticed any posts from Richard.

I'm a member over there, and in spite of the nice moderator and members, I got no results with anything to speak of. I had a pleasant exchange with a former member of Vacuumland, but no questions answered, or help with parts. I have gotten three vacuums, and some badly needed tools from the members here!

In its halcyon days, Richard's group was a hub-bub of activity. It was formed, if my memory serves correctly, as an antidote for the frequently contentious group "vacweb forum." Eventually, as with all Yahoo groups, the spammers and porno peddlers found it and you now see the result. There used to be four or five Yahoo groups but they've either disappeared or become overgrown with spam-weeds.

It was not until the VCCC board agreed to open the club's first web site and include a forum with its creed "Play nicely or leave" that a permanent, spam-free, and relatively trouble-free [certain ugly situations notwithstanding], forum came to be.

"And now," as Paul Harvey says, "You know ... the rrrrest of the stow-rey."
