[Public-List] The end is nigh!

[David Swanson]

 George - 
Thank you for maintaining the list all these years.  I'm not surprised to hear the news but I for one will miss it.
Fair winds.

 Wow!  Hard to believe.

George, a very big thank you for your years of service.  When I bought my
Alberg in 2007, the list was, and continued to be, a valuable wealth of
information for a new Alberg owner.  It was the first place to check when I
encountered a problem with the old girl.

Gord, the list also brought us your delightful and humorous race reports.
Thank you for taking us along with you.  It was a joy.

Thanks to all who contributed.  A truly great group of contributors.

Fair winds,

Woody
