Are you still on this, Fred!!!!!!!!!!!  Here what I
did, get you a Yahoo e-mail address and use that one
to subscribe to the Rhodes List.  That way your work
e-mail address is not full of our chatter. And you can
just hit the delete key on anything with a subject
line you don't think is boat information on your Yahoo
e-mail address.  Yahoo will give you a free e-mail
address.  So there you have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
