[Public-List] Rudder Repairs (yes, another thread, possibly another ruder variation)

[Rachel]

George,

I realize you didn't mean any harm by pasting my text onto the web 
page, and I'm not necessarily averse to sharing information (as I hope 
is clear on the list).  I would just like to be asked "Please" 
beforehand.  To me, a post to the list isn't quite the same (in a 
definitive way) as something on a web site.  If I were to write 
something for the web page, it would be a bit more carefully 
considered, and probably more accurate.  I would probably choose not to 
put my name to it, but boat number would be fine.

I dashed that rudder info off in rather a hurry, because it sounded 
like Andy was needing to make a decision really soon, and I could just 
imagine him checking e-mail every five minutes (like I have been known 
to do).  It was mostly accurate, but I would definitely change some 
things for "publication." An e-mail is just... an e-mail, and in my 
mind doesn't carry the same weight, even if someone does find it by 
searching (that may just be me, but at least I'll stick to it for my 
own writing).

How about if you remove my previous info from the web page (maybe you 
already have; I haven't checked as I was.... working on my boat :), and 
I'll type up a better version and send it to you along with some 
photos.  I sure wish I'd had something to look at while I was pondering 
my rudder, so I don't want to withhold info from other people in my 
situation.

Does that sound good?

Rachel
