"new and fresh" LOLI just realized, if we sign up, Stu has to approve us all. If I can be of any assistance in any added work or effort on your part stu, just let me what I might be able to help you with. I really think it is a far better way to go, I believe we can post photos and links and share info more easily on a bulletin board/forum type of format. Danny

Its what'z new and fresh? �I even posted on there a few years back why no one used the site. I thought that the C&C community was non-existent. Then I got an e-mail that we are allover here.� On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 9:22 PM, djhaug...@juno.com <djhaug...@juno.com> wrote: wow, �I'm just perusing the forum over at c&c photoalbum and is kind of light on the postings. �we could really do all this bantering over there. �It is just as easy as sending an email really and the amount of conversation that goes on here would really bring that forum to life.�Anyway, just a suggestion that maybe we try and use the forum...�Anyone else think this might be worth a try?�Danny ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Eric Frank <efran...@mac.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List homebrew autopilot Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 19:47:32 -0500 �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.�Thanks,�Eric� From: "Pete Shelquist" <pete.shelqu...@comcast.net>To: <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Subject: Stus-List Homebrew autopilot...let them talk Message-ID: <000301cf16f7$12073870$3615a950$@shelqu...@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain;charset="us-ascii" Bill, Others: No one's being swamped and the list isn't being monopolized. �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.
