Hi, It's great to see the PCB&F point of view spelled out. Thanks, Phil, for taking the trouble to do so. I can fully understand why they wouldn't want to get...

I agree. Rich, you have started a really good thing with the lights on this group. I hope it won't be too much trouble to put a short article together on how...
Thanks, Jeff--very timely. I started that discussion, and am now puzzling over the installation of plexi windows on my Topaz. Looks like lots of neat,...
Ditto, and well said, Harry - I too can follow what you're saying, but doing it would take alot of possibly expensive, and certainly frustrating, trial and...
Bill is absolutely right. I might add that this should be a database of information for people who like Bolger's designs, and find them interesting and...

OK, OK already! <grin> I'll post an article in Chebacco when I get the rest of the setup together. May do one on the entire electrical system. ... on this...
Okay Folks, Rich here... I faxed Bolger last night as promised and explained my position. I begged forgiveness, but explained why someone suggested it and why...
... I disagree with your interpretation. If our database is no more than a listing data that has appeared in MAIB articles that include plan prices and invite...
Rich, I read the reply differently, too. A comprehensive database / web site is obviously something he'd like to do himself. But I thought the original idea...
I have to agree with Peter. I don't subscibe to MAIB, and I'm sure anyone new to Bolgers designs might wonder as to plans prices. Here it is merely listed,...
When I faxed PB&F last week to inquire about a design for cruising the Potomac River, I specifically asked for prices on Tennessee plans. I received a VERY...
I *think* that Peter is correct. I recommend that you contact PB&F and say something like, "I'd like to keep a centralized list (database) of your designs that...

I second this. It could only increase PB&Fs income and may well reduce some of the inquiries they deal with. It would also, I'm sure, furnish endless topics...
The message I picked out of the fax, was that while he would like a database, he would also like to maintain full control of it himself. Maybe if someone...

I am making another polite request that folks truncate their replies. Unless you receive the Digest, you may not realize how burdensome it is to wade through...
A modest proposal: If you look at the implied meaning behind the various communications from PB&F, you could say that they don't want *any* outside discussion...
Eureka! Finally a fresh perspective on the silliness of it all!Let us make lists,boats,idle chatter,share ideas,dreams,eat,drink and be merry to our hearts...
Rich, I've put the table temporarily at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Bolger2/database I think there are more posts in favor of your DB than otherwise. Are you...

Thanks for sticking to it, Rich. Those Yahoo databases are pretty primitive huh? No field masks to regularize the input; displays the way it wants to; let...
... Like the rest of you, I am a huge fan of Phil Bolger, and even though he may not like it, he *is* a celebrity of sorts. We should not pester him, but we...

I received a fax from Phil Bolger. Reading between the lines of his fax I believe that 1) he's in favor of the design database and 2) doesn't want to be...
