John, I hate to see you leave. Let me offer a suggestion about how I handle list mail. I created a mail folder just for Montgomery Boats mail, and created a rule that put any mail with M_Boats in the subject into that folder. Most all mail programs have a simple way to create rules or filters. (I also get administrative messages from the list, so the attached picture of my rule has a couple extra conditions) At my leisure, I sort by subject, scan the contents of the folder, and read what I want. CONTROL+A (in Windows) selects all of the messages in a folder, so a single press of DELETE can get clean out the folder. Some mail programs also use a right click on the folder to offer a delete all popup choice. Please give that a try and see if it helps before leaving us.

Dear M'ers
I have been a member of this list, as an owner/sailor/competitor of, among other craft, the Good Ship Coyote, for decades. Built by our friend Jerry, Ol' FD 69 wore out at least 5 members of the Tucson Sailing Club before retiring to Canada.
As an active member of the TSC since 1973, I have enjoyed this list. Wrinkle boats captivated me during my first race against Jerry at Lake Havasu in maybe 1975. That one cost me a case of beer. Later in my sailing days I dragged a 6'8" dinghy all over Baja.
My interest in sailboats - Montgomerys/Sages and all other Lyle Hess heritage craft specifically - continues. However, as priorities change I find it necessary to make room on my inbox for other activities.
Yesterday before bed, I deleted 44 M-boat messages. It is good to see the interest and enthusiasm from the currently active and others lurking. For me, other things.
Best of luck to you all. Any who want to keep in touch, I welcome pertinent posts. As Johnny Carson is credited in saying: "May the wind at your back never be your own."
UNSUBSCRIBE.
