All,  The spoken, but unwritten rules of this form is CATALINA 38 subject matter.  I belong to the listserve to be educated by other members experiences in Cat38 problems and fun outtings.  I believe that 98% (not backed by statistical data) of our members want the form to remain open and on subject.  Please note, this is spoken as a member not as a officer and hope 98% aggree.
Cheers, Steve O (Santa Susanna)
