[Rhodes22-list] Luis please help Mark

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

Bud, 
 
Thank you for the suggestion.  I just tried it and it appears that Google sends me to a series of links that each represent a month's worth of emails .  And I guess buried in each link are the words "stink" and "anchor" somewhere within the hundreds (or maybe thousands?) of emails that particular month, although not necessarily right next to each other.  It makes for a lot of stuff to paw through, but at least I'm seeing the text now.  Not quite sure how long it would take to find the specific stuff that Ed might cryptically refer to ... or if I'd ever be able to find it ... but as you said, it's a start, and I appreciate it.
 
Thanks,
 
-Mark

Mark, 
  you may want to try a google.com search with this statement:   site:rhodes22.org smell AND anchor 
or something similar. This will search only the rhodes22.org 
web site for the two terms "smell" and "anchor". It doesn't 
always find all the "hits", but it will get you started.

I'm just a newbie hoping to learn something about a boat I'm investing a ton of money into, and you make a person feel like they're just one big annoyance every time they ask a question that you might have talked about years ago before I ever even heard of a Rhodes 22. And even if I could open the archive, I'm not sure how I'd find the precise emails discussing such a topic in the first place.
