[Public-List] Circumnavigations

Hi Mr. Cylinder Head (or whatever your name might be),

I'm sorry you don't like the website, but it's not owned by the 
Association. It, and the mailing lists, are services I provide at no 
charge. In fact, I even let the Association sell ads on the website at 
no charge. So don't let the website be an impediment to joining the 
Association, assuming you own an Alberg 30.

Membership in the Alberg 30 Association is the cheapest thing an Alberg 
30 owner can buy to maintain the value of their boat. It's having an 
active class association that keeps the boat values up. Look how the 
value of a Pearson Triton fell when the Triton Associations started to 
dwindle. Having a collection of people who are knowledgeable about the 
boat, who can and will help others deal with the inevitable maintenance 
issues, and who use the boat actively is an incredible boon to boat owners.

I'd be interested in knowing how you think it could be better organized, 
but I have no interest in the additional labor it would take to manage 
an online forum.

<chuckle> Talk about outdated. ;-) I hope that RIM stays in business for 
you.
