[C320-list] Forum "architecture"

[Graeme Clark]

Ade

I know I said I’d butt out from this discussion but your post needs  reply!

Not for me there isn't ! Nor is there anywhere to ‘sign in’ with the username and password I use to access the Association website.

There is a place to sign in as a a Google user, but my google sign-in details have nothing in common with my Association sign-in details - maybe the accounts have to be linked somehow? However i am not a user  ofGoogle (other than using it as a search engine).

I am no Luddite (my friends generally consider me as a source of help to those that struggle with computers!) so to me at least several things are clear from this discussion

1) I am in the minority within the C320 group (possibly because people who feel as I do have given up using the list a long time ago?)

2) The C320 Association is in the minority compared to other Catalina model associations nearly all of whom seem to use ‘normal' BB architecture

3) Receiving a daily digest is a bad idea! 

I am truly amazed that the email-list format has not just survived but has such avid supporters. I guess over the past 15 years or so I have just become used to
seeing the BB forum format in every other interest group to which I belong.

As i said before - the sextant has it’s place despite the advent of GPS!

I really will leave it at that, now. Clearly I am butting my head against a brick wall so I acquiesce to the majority (or else I’ll have to buy a bigger boat and move to a different association :-) )
