Mark,
Are you sure you want all that hot air corked into his body. There's no  
telling how far the body parts would fly once it reaches critical mass.

Ed,

As the guy who had the temerity to actually say nice  things about the other 
members of the forum and who appreciates whatever  topics people want to write 
about, I have to tell you, Ed, that you can put a  cork in your chair and sit 
on it.

Chet,

There  are many members on this forum.  I used to post information  on
utilizing this forum.  I still post educational materials relevant  to
various subjects.

I have received several ‘Back Channel’  communications regarding my post. 
What is a back channel  communication?  It is where a list member
communicates directly with a  poster without posting to the entire list. 
That sort of communications  defeats the purpose of the forum and often
reduces the number of relevant  replies to post.  For example a newbie, Sara
O., posted to the  list.  She communicated with the person who replied but
did not tell  the rest of the list.  So the result was she left Mike W in the
‘fog’.  

We have at least one member of this forum who gets his ego thrills  by
communicating back channel.  But do you think that he post helpful  resposes
to you inquiries to the List?

There are several list  members in Ohio.  In fact one member posted just
before your original  post, but did not respond.  One way to get relevant
responses is to be  very specific in the ‘Subject’ line and to change the
‘Subject ‘ when  responding to post.

One member used the thread with a reply, “like all  the non-sailing topics
... even though I don't read much of it, it lets me  know that the gang is
all here and they're checking their email ... so when  I DO have a sailing
question, I know someone (actually, a lot of folks)  will be around to answer
it.”  However, that responder who  evidentially likes answers to his
questions, offered you little.  So I  will sit here and see if he offers you
assists and knowledge.

Our  sailing season is longer here in South Carolina.  In fact we sail  all
year long.  Maybe the best answer is for you to come on  South.  Make an
appointment with Captain Rummy.  He has his own  dock on Lake Hartwell now. 
Unfortunately, it is so far 'up the creek' that  it will take him an hour
just to get to the sailing waters.  You will  have to come down and see the
situation.  He does take ‘Northerners’  for sails, just see the  attached
picture:

Welcome to the Rhodes List..., I hope you are not  another of those
'Liberals'.
