[C38] A comment on the Listserve

[Charles]

The keelstub discussion we are currently having suggests from the 
comments of some parties they may not be familiar with our website:  
www.catalina38.org  and perhaps it would be good to remind all how this 
works.
Both the website and this listserve are sponsored (paid for) by the 
Catalina 38 International Association.  You will routinely find 
discussions that begin on this listserve regarding fixes, announcements, 
great locations, etc. which are  summarized and/or detailed and then 
mounted on our website for more permanent referral.  A great example 
will be what we learn from the keel stub discussion, which will be added 
to the specifications already available in Tech Tips.  I am certain the 
comments from Russ Duff regarding the actual project will be added when 
they arrive.

I would ask all of us to keep in mind three things as we benefit from 
these great discussions:

1. Use the website and the listserve as interlinked references that 
allow all of us to enjoy these wonderful boats.
2. Contribute your experience so all of us can benefit by writing things 
up and submitting them to me for posting on the website.
3. Become a member and pay your dues!  While all the time it takes to 
construct and maintain these locations are volunteered.... we do have to 
pay for the servers to run and maintain the website and listserve. 

For all the above reasons.....  WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!

Thanks for listening,
Charles Finn
