[Rhodes22-list] Leland a reply about list content...

[Tootle]

Lee,

Thena's history of this forum is only half complete.  The original group
moved off the Sailnet list for several reasons to include extraneous
subjects.  

On the old list that was limited to sailing topics, it was tiring and
redundant to see post, “Test to see if list is working”.  One of the chief
culprits of those posts is still making music.

The Political stuff was instigated by a reader from North Carolina.  I
suspect that he did so just to agitate the congregation.  And he still does
it, just not as much.

We had one member who got to using foul language so much that he was
excommunicated.  

What has appeared on the Rhodes List for the past few months happened four
and eight years ago.  

The original congregation said barroom not living room.  Now we have new
congregants who bought the house next to the airport runway wanting the
airplanes to go away.  

I would suggest that a couple of old timers have left because they are no
longer the center of the party.  No body was stroking their egos anymore,
but rather confronting them.  

Mary Lou suggested the Chesapeake Rhodies were due for a party.  It has been
suggested in the past, but nothing ever done about meeting in Edenton.  In a
few weeks there will be another birthday that would be appropriate for a
winter wingding.  The airport is right across the street from General Boats. 
Those guys with airplanes could even fly in!  Mary Lou should have the date
somewhere?

My two cents worth,

Ed K
