[Rhodes22-list] A New Website?

[Mary Lou Troy]

Nabble is an independent outfit I don't believe we have any control over 
it.

Peter, this looks good. I haven't looked all the way through but hope 
the FAQ (which was archival material rescued from an earlier website) is 
fully represented.

BTW I think the current webpage was renovated by a teenager some 15 
years ago. I don't really remember all the details and of course haven't 
been paying close attention here as we no longer have the boat.

Glad to see the initiative though.

Mary Lou
