Robi: The server this forum resides on are sponsored by Mary and Rick, ditto for the bandwith. I think they hope to finance it trough banner ads and onlinemarinestore.com eventually.
Obese posts, and quoting of same posts takes capacity, is annoying and not really useful. If the store resides on the same server, it also effect the user experience there. Not just this post, but in sum it adds up, hence it's not a good practice.

I value these forums a great deal (what are the alternatives for catsailors?), so I try to support them by subscribing to "Catamaran Sailor" magazine and order stuff from the store from time to time.. (I like to follow "Catamaran Sailor", so I dont subscribe just to support Mary and Ricks efforts )


I notice that Sam are executing the royal prerogative, keeping us waiting for his royal replies.
