[Rhodes22-list] Doors and Windows

[Rik Sandberg]

Bill,

Agree with you whole heartedly on the trusting advice from the members of 
the list thing. But, where did the non-sailing post part come from. It's 
all looked like sailing related stuff to me. And even if it wasn't, we've 
never been all that picky about people letting there occupation be known, 
have we???? Never hurts to know folks backgrounds IMHO. There are several 
folks whose email signatures have their company name or occupation included 
in them. I have no problem with that.

Rik
