I just posted this on the SailNet list and am putting it here as well:
From: Sean Engle [mailto:ssengle@...]

Subject: EricsonYachts.org Mail List
Ok - so:
At the NW event, it was suggested to me that even if the Information Exchange and a mail list could not be joined (on the backend) that it would be better to have the two separate functions on www.EricsonYachts.org than not have them. I realize that many of you on this list like getting email rather than using your browser to get information - and as much as I hate creating another island of information, I cannot help but feel that an opportunity to pull everyone together would be lost if I did not at least try to accommodate that request. So:
I have contacted our host about starting a mail list under the www.EricsonYachts.org service, and one is now in the process of being setup. I just got the keys to it, and it needs some work to be tweaked out - but, I am going to set it up, and then will email you guys to tell you where the page is (and yes, Loren, I realize the 1st is looming).
For those of you going to SailJazz - I would ask you that once this this list at www.EricsonYachts.org is established, that you please give it a chance, and sign up on it - and then post to both locations. I know that duplicates traffic to your inbox, but if we don't get users, than it's pointless to do this. This SailNet list will be turning turtle at some point in the near future...
Anyhow - I'll see how much I can do today/tomorrow on this and email you guys back again with access info, etc.
Thanks,
