You don't have one of the best records when it comes to getting it up.
Many of us remember your twirl with The Boats of Rec.Boats and the early
pull out.

Good work, Psuedo. Right away with the personal remarks. That should go
a long way toward resolving your expressed concern that the group is so
far OT.

Lloyd; You may as well decide to start a buggy whip factory. The era of
the internet forum has come and gone, killed off IMO by the search
engine.


Probably true if all you want is advice. (OTOH, I'm trying to get the
modem running on my Linux laptop, and although there's THOUSANDS of
websites with "help", most are out-dated or just plain wrong)

But I now belong to a (gently moderated) fishing forum that's local, fun,
full of interesting, knowledgeable folks, and the main reason I'm now
fishing more than sailing. So it CAN be done!

And yes, I'd moderate it, and probably choose the members somewhat
(There's probably over a millions boaters in BC alone: add the Washington
ones like you, and there's several million. I'm guessing several have
computers, and would like to chat about boating...)
