To Warren,
Would you check to see that the unsubscribe feature is working correctly
(sorry about that Burt)?
I think the message in this is that we do need to make sure that people can
both subscribe and unsubscribe easily. Burt likely subscribed originally to
look in on our class activities and possibly to witness first-hand the level
of class support for builders and builder questions. I get far more
compliments than complaints about our mailing list from prospective members.
Thanks
for all of your effort over the last several years.
To the class,
The mailing list was devised as a method of rapid class
communication--primarily for builders
It remains the only practical way that I know of to get quick response to
construction questions (1 hour service--more often than not). I would doubt
that many prospective members sign on to our mailing list hoping to avoid
getting email regarding construction questions.
I can understand Burt's frustration if he is having trouble un subscribing
now that he has decided to postpone building a Swift.
I certainly hope that we do not get to the point where we expect builders in
need of quick answers to use the forum on our website instead of the mailing
list. The time delay would likely be very discouraging. Recently, too
often these questions are asked and answered by email privately when the
answer
would benefit the archives and the majority of builders under construction. I
do hope that the class website forum will be used more often to ask
questions by those who are not in need of a quick answer, however, the level
of class
communication in general has been pathetically low since the last effort to
stifle use of the mailing list in favor of the class website.

Guys, I have tried every way to Sunday to get removed from this distribution
list. I have sent the email that is supposed to return a verification email.
Never comes. I just cannot handle all of the emails that I receive from the
Class. Could someone note my email address and remove me? You have a great
boat and someday I hope to build one, but until then, my mailbox is filling
up.
Thanks,
Burt
