Stan, have you considered changing the rhodes22.com so that it
automatically "redirects" users to the generalboats.com site? Geoff

Thanks Geoff, I did consider that but when I went to move "my" site to
Godaddy they told me the domain was not mine. Big surprise after all
these years - I had kept renewing it and it is paid for up to 2016. So
I do not have control of that site.

Stan,

Haven't read much of the narratives of the new website yet but looked at all
the pictures--impressive! Makes me want to go right out and buy a new
Rhodes!

Stan,

You should look at this to see if you can reclaim the domain from MJM. I
think you have a strong case.

Lee, you should. Since you are all over the narrative there is talk of
your being asked to be in the movie version.

Stan you control your own dns, I handed it over to Christ a long time ago ,
looks like he is using zoneedit.com now so you can point your email and
site anywhere you want , Runing DNS is a basic skill and he should know
what he doing , I do not , repeat , do not have and control over the
servers or the setup

Wow, Michael. Elton said he has not been able to reach you. The
unrelated "New Rules" e-mail did it? Great. But of course I don't
understand the terminology (or even who Christ is), but with all the
List help we will figure it out. Thanks. Hope things are now going
well in Chi. When you get a chance, if not recently done so, send Elton
an e-mail.

Stan,
Great "new rules" and links. You keep more rabbits in your hat than
anyone I know. Well maybe they are just a few in there and they keep
reproducing?
