Thanks Curt, thanks everyone

Your comments are (all) appreciated. Without contributions from many contributors this collaborative sharing of information would not be possible. Thanks for your spectacular documentations, because it may well have been postings like yours that initially got the attention of the editors at Motor Boating Magazine.

The circulation for the magazine is something like a million or a million-and-a-half, not including counter sales at news stands. Since people with Commanders will probably be notified about the article, if they don't subscribe, I suspect there will be a lot of additional readership on the forum, and I've already seen the page reads literally double in two days and the curve (actually a spike) is on a steep climb upwards. On a day when we would normally see 1,000 pages being read, all of a sudden it's 2,000, for instance. All of those readers will see the great posts and photos people have shared here, and many of them will be able to benefit from the information. "Fun and Sharing" are the two reasons for the forum in the first place, thanks for helping out in a major way on both accounts.

Working with John Clemans was a major "FUN" factor.

Regards, all the best!
