[Rhodes22-list] Doors and Windows

[Rik Sandberg]

Bill,

Yes, I see your point.

I see no reason for us to hide our businesses/occupations from the other
folks on the list. Rummy is right, we would be wasting a great knowledge
pool to take a position like this. I do believe though that to fit in the
intended guidelines for use of the list, a question to someone about their
area of expertise (non-sailing) could be asked on the list, then the details
of this subject could/should be taken up back channel, between the two
interested parties. This seems very reasonable (adult) to me. My feeling on
this is, we have always talked about whatever we wanted in here. I find the
lists or BBs that restrict their subject to EXACTLY their main subject to be
boring as hell, to put it mildly. Mostly one spends his time on these boards
reading posts from people bitching about other peoples OT
posts......uh.....whoopeee, isn't that a productive use of my time.

Let's not let ourselves become this closed minded.

Mike, don't worry about your signature, it's just fine the way it is.

Rik
