Quiet list

[Jbt21 (at) AOL.COM]

    Hi all,
        Hasn't the laser list got quiet lately! I'm getting a bit 
disappointed when I come in from work, check my e-mail and am lucky to get 2 
or 3 messages.  Now, we're all guilty, we bear a collective responsibility 
for this deafening silence.  Just 'cos its cold outside, and our lovely '13 
foot, plastic diversionary apparatus' may not be seeing the use they get in 
the summer, is no reason not to talk about it.  After all, 
talking/bitching/encouraging/arguing/advice-giving/moaning, are some of the 
things the laser list is proven to be excellent at accomplishing.   
    Who can forget the discussion about carbon masts.  A debate that I'm sure 
will run and run.
    Or all the helpful maintenance posts, renewing tiller extension joints, 
batten ends, what number is my boat? etc.
    Whether Bytes Bite! 
    A certain customer rights issue Re. a Coloured, zippered sail.
    THE NEW VANG!
    Rule 42.
    And of course the Big Robert v. Ben debate, only narrowly surpassed by 
the US Election Discussion, (Rebecca For President). 
    OK I had very little to do over the holiday, and reviewed the 2000 or so 
posts I've recieved since subscribing last April.  (I was responsible for 4 
of them).  I'm sure we can manage to do a little more.  Share your pain as 
you begin your pre-season fitness program.  In the absence of Laser traffic 
I'm sure we can spend a little bandwidth on 'The Race', (if no-one objects of 
course). Lets fill those mailboxes to summertime levels and have something to 
while away those long winter nights doing, (yes, I'm currently single, and 
believe me, those winter nights are long!)
    Can I just take this opportunty to wish everyone all the best in the new 
year, and thank everyone who has contributed to a list that I'm sure must be 
one of the best on the Net.  It's certainly helped my return to the best 'God 
Darn Boat' in the world.

     Yours

           John
