Special Notice: Success Planning: we need a new Owner for the List

Hello all - this is a special message inviting you to nominate a new owner for this fine old List, or vote for an existing nominee. I'm retiring from this great responsibility, and I call it great, because this List is Great - with lots of activity, great contributors and excellent information for its readers. I've been the owner since inception back in October 2005, so it's time to move on and... besides... I've gone over to the Grey Side... I'm now the owner of a Macgregor 26 }:->. So it's not quite the Dark Side as it still has sails, though it does kind of qualify as P***rB***t. Anyway you can can vote or nominate in the 'Polls' section, which you access via the histogram icon, which shd be 4th from the right in the line of icons near the top of the Group web page. If you get nominated and don't want to be, I'll try to remove you if you protest strongly enough, though I can't guarantee success. I've stuck a couple of choices there because I can't create a poll without at least two choices; the names you see are just there because they contribute frequently enough that their names came to mind first, but they're both longtime members and I'm sure they're eminently qualified in any case. All the best - Nick List Owner (There's many a dip 'twixt the ship and the slip)
