Hey Tom,
Don't worry too much about Ed's policing of repetitive topics or
subject line mislabeling. Sure, it's nice to have the subject line
labeled accurately, but none of the rest of us have our Jr. High hall
monitor badges polished and affixed to our terminals looking for
transgressions. I for one can't remember that we covered a particular
topic some number of months ago, so the rehashes don't bother me a
bit.
Now, back to my immediate task of saving our collective national ass!

Thanks, now I am again making some progress. Interesting process.
Hard to
search for unknown terms. Had no idea this black slider that keeps
the
boom up was called a "car." Searched "car" on this site and found
an
article about a naked man flagging down an auto with a dead pigeon,
but very
little on the mast gizmo. You gentlemen have stepped in and really
helped.
I will order the part from Stan this afternoon. My mast is up, but
I have
not yet added the traveler in the backstays, nor have I tuned the
stays.
Does anyone know if I have to lower the mast to replace the mast
boom car?
I did not want to proceed with the rigging only to lower the mast
again.
Ed, I am sorry if my mislabeling the subject line inflamed,
aroused,
titillated, or otherwise diverted any progressive from their
immediate task
of saving our collective national ass.
Tom
Both of you guys failed. Look at the subject line for this
discussion and
ask it someone else had the same or similar problem could they tell
from
your subject line the subject matter of the discussion contained
therein?
This is especially problematic for Art who has responded with
otherwise good
information.
When a post is made with 'wrong' subject line, do not hit reply but
begin
make a reply using an appropriate subject line so discussion
subject matter
can be identified.
With a subject line of 'Progress', one has to ask how many list
members
thought you were progressives having a discussion about 'Progress'.
Your
subject line may have eliminated many of the reclusive members of
this
forum.
Even Mark P.'s misspelling got his idea accross. Even a close
mispelling or
vague discription in street language is better than a subject line
that does
not hint of the topic.
Tom, if you call General Boats, remember that Stan request such
calls be
made late in the day.
