I am looking forward to meeting a couple of the local listers who sail around the Newport, RI area. I find myself, when I see a C&C on the water looking to see if I know her from this list. I am relatively new to this list but find it to be interesting reading and valuable especially in light of my lack of real sailing experience or sailboat ownership. The banter can be revealing and pretty funny. That kind of intimacy would be difficult on a forum format.

The seller was reluctant to ship them to me. A very kind lister was instrumental in obtaining them and shipping them to me. I think the more personal nature of the email format helps that process. I also have met listers in my travels and asked listers for local information. I'm not sure I'd be as comfortable on a personal basis with members of a forum. As always, listers are welcome to contact me when they are in the south Louisiana area. Dennis C.

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.
