[Rhodes22-list] Information gathering and the charter for Rummy

[Rik Sandberg]

Unbelievable .....

Excuse me??? The fact that folks on this list happen to own an R22 and 
participate here from time to time in no way obligates them to provide 
you a repository of knowledge on a 37 year old boat.

Far as R. Philaga is concerned: You weren't here and know nothing about 
the subject . You might be better served to stick to subjects you know 
something about.

This is a mail list formed by many of the people who own or have owned a 
Rhodes 22. There is no connection or obligation to General boats. We 
help people out with boat questions if we can, because we happen to 
think Stan, Rose and Elton are some pretty darn good people, not because 
we have any obligation other than friendship to anybody. We chit chat 
amongst ourselves the rest of the time. I doubt even you can find a law 
against that. Anyone is welcome to join in ... or not. What you are not 
welcome to do is bitch about it.
