And, I missed the point. Someone asked me to go to Sailnet near my home
and see what was there. I reported it. Am I a fool for trying to help
fellow sailors?

Thanks for the heads up. Scotty posted something a while back about
sailnet
having a sale on wheel autopilots, when I finally looked it up last week I
noticed that they didn't list ANY wheel autopilots, I thought that was odd
at the time, all they had were a few accessories for the autopilots. Now
it
makes sense, they're letting their inventory sell off without bothering to
let any of their customers know about their situation. I had heard the
story
about the Boyles a while back from someone that knows them personally, he
wrote a fair number of online articles for them. Funny that the website is
still up, as are the e-mail lists, but I noticed tonight that the front
page
has a large message that says "checkout temporarily disabled". Really is a
shame, I've purchased from these guys in the past and found their service
and pricing practically unbeatable. BTW, no one on any of the sailnet
lists
mentioned anything about their problems.

I saw posts in many of the sailnet lists about the growing problems. The
groups
I belong to have all migrated to sailjazz.com, which has all the same
group
titles.

Should have said, on any of the lists I subscribe to. I have noticed that
there is very little traffic on the lists these days, I attributed it to the
season.
