[Public-List] Alberg 30 FOR SALE

[George Dinwiddie]

Hi, Dennis,

Let's cut Mark some slack, OK?  I think he knows he'll need to take some 
pictures, but he's just feeling his way on how to go about selling a 
boat.  I think you could offer him advice rather than suggesting he not 
post at all until he has pictures.
