Quoting Ben Cittadino <bcittadino at dcs-law.com>:
I am in total agreement with Ben!!! Rhodes22 is a means of communication about
sailing with Rhodes as a common focal point. It was always interesting to read
about other sailing experiences and often very informative. If you had a
question(s) there was normally many answers or solutions offered by our 
down to
earth fellow Rhodes 22 members. There are several political, religious,
off-color, financial, medical, legal, gear head........forums to express one's
self. Keep Rhodes 22 an exchange of sailing related dialogue. I also 
agree with
Ben, I do not want to offend the participants we are making reference, their
positive contribution over the years have been (are) invaluable. Jim Johnston
