[C320-list] Catalina 320 owners group on Facebook?

[Jack Brennan]

Hi Jaime:

Yeah, but you only use the Google group for sailing. On the other hand, if you have a gmail account with stuff in the cloud, they’re looking through all of that, too. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember them claiming that they have ownership rights to all of your stuff.

I spent 10 years working as a web producer at a newspaper. We all thought the Internet was going to change the world for the better. Hah. I miss the days when I would go out sailing and no one could find me …

Please also remember that the "Free" Google groups email list is doing the
same thing.... :)
