[Rhodes22-list] Doors and Windows

Wed, 16 Oct 2002 16:33:08 -0400

    I am honored to be acknowledge and treated so as a full member of the list despite age. In response to the subject I recall about a year back that I had a computer question that I had mentioned on the list. After meeting a few members, and realizing the overall knowledge potential of the list, I couldn't think of a better place to ask. I believe I marked the subject so those that are strictly sail interested with boating could disregard. Those that wouldn't mind going off subject did take the time to give me the help I needed and a place that would give a great deal on top. Off subject items such as these kept second to sailing I don't believe would impose on the dignity of the list. At times especially through the upcoming off season months where list conversation tends to die down, this will keep communication active.

  Rik,

  This has never been a problem because most of the people on this list are
  adults (Will--I include you in the adult category).  But the location of the
  imaginary line between acceptable and unacceptable commerce has remained
  understandably fuzzy.

  I am merely suggesting a slightly more liberal view of where this line might
  be.  Having made the contact on-list, should the discussion continue on-list
  or go back-channel?

  Bill

  Bill,

  Agree with you whole heartedly on the trusting advice from the members of
  the list thing. But, where did the non-sailing post part come from. It's
  all looked like sailing related stuff to me. And even if it wasn't, we've
  never been all that picky about people letting there occupation be known,
  have we???? Never hurts to know folks backgrounds IMHO. There are several
  folks whose email signatures have their company name or occupation included
  in them. I have no problem with that.
