I have personally met several people who came from this list. Also on the J27 Yahoo group with its email list I met a couple people. I have never met a single person through any forum
I have met and chatted with Bob Abbott and Rich Knowles because I knew their names and boats from the list I have been on both of their boats I have had many email conversations with Harry Hallgring and he even did a visual inspection of my current boat while I was in the process of purchasing it. Our paths did not cross in New Bedford, Mass unfortunately due to time constraints but I do consider many on this list to be friends. Forums have to be checked. Lists come to you. Many of us prefer the messages coming to us rather than going to look. Also like many others I do use forums like sailnet as well but not very often anymore. So I guess to me LIST = FRIENDS = COMMUNITY. Forum = Impersonal and anonymity. Mike List Troll
