This might be the place to put the autohelm topic. I can easily set up a new category and and the topic.

Worth an annual fee for me. Where do I sign up. David F. Risch 1981 40-2 (401) 419-4650 (cell) From: efran...@mac.com Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:47:32 -0500 To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List homebrew autopilot This was precisely my concern. I have learned so many useful things on this list-serve that I have no interest in causing a problem (case in point, separating the prop shaft from the transmission coupler - would never have figured out how to do this on my own), and my own sense is that the folks interested in this new topic should interact in a different way. Not that all the listings are very interesting to me - discussions of racing handicaps and the like are boring to me, but certainly highly relevant to a significant group of the listers. So I just skip over them. But building DIY autopilots or autonomous model sailboats is quite different. So let me look into what it takes to set up a very simple site where the interested folks can interact without using this list. Please allow me a couple of more posts to stay in touch with people who are potentially interested about this while I set it up, but then we will move it.

Also, this conversation is as C&C specific as the recent conversation on Harken roller furler, adjustable car leads, AGM batteries and a host of other dribble. Obviously, there are a number of members on this list that are interested and want to share information. It, like most conversations, will probably die off in the near future. Personally, I understand less than half of what they're talking about, but I read and take in what I can and delete the rest. Others are welcome to do the same. -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Bill Bina Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 3:45 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Homebrew autopilot Sorry, but I strongly disagree. One of the most popular reasons for people to unsubscribe from this list over the years has been that the sheer volume of emails is too much to handle. To monopolize this C&C specific discussion list with the nuts and bolts communications generated by such a (non-C&C specific) project would be inappropriate, to put it as mildly as possible. It needs to have it's own home. Swamping this list is not the answer. Bill Bina On 1/21/2014 4:02 PM, Stevan Plavsa wrote: I posit that a mailing list like this is also an archive. Judging by the traffic that this thread has already generated in one day I wouldn't assume that it's not an interesting topic to other listers or that those with little technical know-how either have nothing to contribute or nothing to learn. Nevermind the people that might be googling for this topic a year or two from now. I for one would like to see how this goes so my vote is keep the discussion here as long as it's practical. I understand that there might be a need to share files etc. Maybe you guys want to consider an open project.
