<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">I think that it will at least dilute and, more likely, kill the strongest element of this association, namely, the Association Forum. I'm afraid that, eventually, this forum will die. Paul's proposal seems to be considerably more cumbersome to navigate for the non-techno sailors among us. (OK, me!) Hell,I don't even recall the password to get into the current member section. Just this morning's change in the way this was posted made it more difficult (albeit minimally) to access the topic. I think sub-dividing the forum more will decrease its use.

I'm sure that the intent is to supplement the exisiting forum. But, I think it will end up killing it. The "Sail Log", "Maintenance Log", and "Blog" would hold just about everything that is the current content of the forum only we'd have to go to a few different places to find them.

Finally, I think it would shrink our numbers further. The best parts of this forum would be closed to the public so therefore, the incentive to particpate by writing a check would be lessened simply beacause the wealth of knowledge that is this association will be hidden.

Paul, I appreciate your candor regarding your business plans for this concept. I'm simply afraid that your gain could very well result in the Association's loss.
