[Rhodes22-list] How to quit this email list

[Alex Bell]

Rik,

How bout steping up to the plate and saying what you have on your mind. 
Go ahead and take a stand here.

What is the greatest asset of your current boat?  (there's a boat 
question for you) Sorry for the cynicism, but I just scanned a bunch of 
stuff that got my blood boiling here. Being one of the "support our 
troops" kind of people, I really get urinated off when I see people 
telling Phil and wife "what you should do" and questioning their email 
addresses etc. What a load of crap.
