I think Howard has a good point in discussing consolidation. Unfortunately we may not agree on how to consolidate. As far as a discussion goes, I would like to raise the following points: First, we tend to plow the same ground over and over. I have thought about starting a FAQ for the M-15 but just never got around to doing it. Reposting gems from Jerry, Connie and Bob would cover a lot of it. BTW - Jerry, Connie and Bob - think about writing a book. Second, most of us are mortal(excluding moi and my angelic trophy wife). Is there a succession plan for these web entities? I participate in another group that for one reason or another has lost the moderator, and no one else can join the group. I would hate to see something like that happen to us. Third, do we need to raise funds to support any on going operations? I noticed a while back after a google search that I was getting Montgomery hits from this site: http://www.mail-archive.com/montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com/info.html Someone has signed the list up to be archived at this web site. You can even search or view messages by thread or by date. There is also a RSS feed at: http://www.mail-archive.com/montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com/maillist.x... The last week or so I have not even been reading my e-mails. I just peek at the RSS from time to time and click on what interests me. There is at least one other "archiver" web site out there that we are on, but this site seems to have a better interface to me. Comments? steve Steve R. M-15 #119 Lexington, KY
