[Rhodes22-list] Just a thought.

[Michael Meltzer]

I can agree with this :-), mjm does not like to work more than the next man. I have to admit I do find the topic a little strange, I
figured this might have been a problem and asked a few months ago, it seemed that most were ok with it, now that it is a fact, some
of the same people have a problem. OK, I am sitting druming my fingures on what to do, like I have a question about the macys fire
works/hellgate/anchorage ,an other about puting on names and have I a answer about "centen". Should I even bother asking or
answering?  Next problem if people did not want me here who should I hand the list over to, Mark a 37 tartan, Will is a seaward 26
and so and I, they will be subject the same "problem".  Now sailnet or yahoo groups would work but they have thier warts. Resomable
people made a resonable statement/request, My problem is I am human too and feel a little rejected, just do not have the hart to
deal with the list tonight.
