FYI, if anyone needs more convincing to sign up on
Sailjazz.com<http://sailjazz.com/>'s
Chesapeake Bay listserve, the following is from another Sailnet list. 
Evidently Sailnet is belly-up, and it's just a matter of time before their 
listserves go down.

Someone who lives close to Sailnet has posted a series of pictures 
showing that the Sailnet sign has been taken down, the parking lot is 
empty, and the building is locked up, with a closed sign in the door. He 
went once at 9 am, and then when he returned a little later, there was a 
Mercedes parked near the door, but despite pounding on the door, there 
was no response. He asked around at a few other buildings nearby, and 
was told it's been mostly deserted there. If you were charged for goods 
you have not yet received, you probably should contact your credit card 
company as soon as possible. The photographer did include a picture 
showing the license plate of the Mercedes, which you may also find 
helpful...
