[Rhodes22-list] Just a thought.

[Rik Sandberg]

Rummy and all,

Yeah, you are right about the traffic on the Seaward. BUT, I was thinking 
about this too. True this list is named the R22 list, but when we really 
think about it, isn't it really more like the "I bought a boat from Stan 
and/or Elton list"?? In my estimation we (at least I) are here more because 
our friends, or people we know are here, than because of which brand of 
boat we have. I know there are other Seaward forums already and I'm sure 
most who are migrating to the 26 probably are already communicating on 
those as well. I also belong to the Flicka 20 list, but I still come here 
because I like you Rummy, as well as a lot of other folks on the list. 
Also, this list tends to be a little less full of the topic police than 
most and is more fun to be around because the topic tends to vary from day 
to day.

I can't say if this diversity is a good thing or a bad thing for the list. 
I suppose opinion on this will vary from one person to the next. For me 
(yes I know I'm now an outsider) coming here is more about staying in touch 
with my friends than talking about a specific boat.

Just my 2 cents worth, probably wasn't worth that much though. :-)

Hey, somebody sail a little bit for me. Let me know where we went. I'm 
working again this weekend.....as usual.
