[Public-List] Posting or not posting to the list

[Hugh McCormack]

Good day Don,
 
I didn't say it because I wasn't aware of it.  I had assumed, apparently incorrectly, that the website and list were paid for by advertising and sponsorship that appears on the site.  Thank you for letting me know that I am wrong.  Like Jeffrey, I am too far away from either the Chesapeake or the Great Lakes to participate in either association.  If I lived closer I would join the GLAA but I can't afford the airfare from Newfoundland to attend one function let alone all of the many that might be of interest.  Consequently I, too, can see no purpose in having an annual membership in either.  If I am not welcome here please remove me from the list.  I am sorry to have offended you.

In some cases one person has had a solution to a problem or question and in other cases the solution has come from a group discussion. I would hate to miss out on someone's knowledge because they didn't feel comfortable posting.> > > > I think I may have said this in a previous post (if so it bears repeating), there is an amazing amount of combined knowledge and experience represented in the members of this list. Unlike other public boards to which I belong, this one is very polite, very positive and very friendly.
