[C38] For Sale, Trade or Free on the website

[Charles]

**We have tried this before on the website with some success and a bit 
of tension...  But if members want it, I am happy to try again!  The 
reason I say some success is that our members need to actively 
participate by both sending me postings to list and letting me know when 
their stuff has been sold...   If this is going to work, folks need to 
believe this is a worthwhile place to look.
The reason I mention tension is some people for some reason have 
expectations of "service" that frankly, as a volunteer... I am not 
prepared to offer!  I do my best to help out and be timely, BUT I have a 
real life and a real job and I love to sail!  This means there will be 
delays from time to time and I hope folks will approach this with that 
perspective.

With all that said, I have set up the website to do this.  At the 
moment, there is nothing in the four categories (not even my own sails), 
but the structure is there and the site will become what we all make 
it.  Send me your stuff (following the guidelines below) and we will try 
this yet another time!
