Todd.

Thanks for replying.  That assumption is incorrect.  In my disjointed 
writings re ROC it does point out that anyone, buying any Rhodes, from 
the factory, automatically is a paid in full member of ROC.   So Sean 
is.  Sean is a military doctor so not that clear on what he wanted.   I 
responded within a few days but he is conditioned to "stat" orders.  
(Rose was a nurse until I corrupted her but before I did she introduced 
me to 'stat' as used in medical terms.)  If I had filled Sean's order 
for a pop top and pop top slider, stat, he would have been very unhappy.

I lucked out with formal educational benefits from WW11 (US Navy air 
corps schooling/Purdue engineering/NYU business administration) but find 
that the education that comes from living and doing, is the more 
productive part of what we end up knowing. We simply get wiser with each 
year we get through, like it or not.  At my age I knew that if Sean 
needed a new pop top and pop top slider for a recently recycled Rhodes, 
whatever caused that damage would have had him needing a new boat.  So 
we took the time out to review the names of the boat parts so we would 
be on the same page in ordering parts via the   www.Rhodes22parts.com   
web site.  Turns out his interest was for a pop top enclosure; and by 
slider he meant, the way to attach it to the boat.

Also appreciate your extending me a peak at your thoughts: /"explaining 
the certificate and the counterintuitive royalty scheme for private boat 
sales, replays every 18 months or so." /One of my varied careers was a 
Madison Avenue mad man (radio/tv director with a little copywriting on 
the side) where one of the golden rules is repetition.  You are right; 
18 months of media silence is way too long a stretch to drive home a 
message.  Still, the checks come in the mail from respected List names 
with notes like, "Stan, I've been mulling over what you are trying to do 
and I get it."  Borrowing your words, /"was my assumption wrong (as 
usual)" . /When it comes to what you see as a 'counterintuitive royalty 
scheme', your take misses by 180 degrees.   I won't bother you with the 
alternate view, unless you encourage me.  And then I would love to.

Meantime have a merry.  Mine will be a one man celebration in this now 
empty house, of having lived an amazing life for 71 years with one 
pretty, sexy, loving, sweet as can be, significant other.
