Hi Glenn,
I tried to comment on your blog. But my comment seemed to have been
lost in cyberspace. So I don't know if your blog idea is quite ready
for prime time yet. Of course, more than likely I just hit the wrong
key.
In any case, what I said was I think that your idea has some merit,
but I wonder if you're trying to reinvent the wheel here. I too wish
that we could have a more easily searchable archive, and that I
didn't have to often cut and paste some of the posts here into my
word processor because the messages don't come with line returns and
run off the right side of my screen. There are several free web forum
packages (my ISP offers two) that are easily searchable and keep each
subject in a discrete heading. A couple that I access every day are:
http://www.advrider.com/forums/
http://www.priusonline.com
It's very easy to find exactly what you're looking for in these
forums, and you don't spend a lot of time wading through stuff you
have no interest in. And like I said, they're free. But I'm guessing
that there's a sizable contingent of folks here who are old-school
Internet types and like their digests emailed to them. So I'm not
advocating for any change if the status quo is working for most of us.
As for Bob Eeg. Well, good luck. I've been trying to get an estimate
from him since April. He builds a great boat, but boy, he sure could
use some help coordinating the business end of things. I guess I'm
just going to have to keep pestering him. And to his credit, he
recently sent me some replacement windows for my M15 free of charge.
Finally, I live here in Ashland in southern Oregon, and if you ever
want to see an M15 in the flesh and maybe spend some time out on
Howard Prairie Lake this summer, well, you wouldn't have to twist my
arm very hard.
David
