Good letter Karl - I wrote him also, but I put in a request for more info about the survey to find out who wrote it. Gary, I'm sure, didn't. It is appropriate to write him, however, and your tone was pitch-perfect. I'll post here if I get anything substantive back.
Agree - it was a bummer. I checked "Other" and wrote in Cat Sailor Magazine and
www.catsailor.com to try and get the point across.
