    hI

    , how do stop postings on unrelated subjects my In box choked up with Info from clubs In Spain
    I no Its part of site but no Interest to me .....Larry.


    Unfortunatly there Is no way to discrimnate between posts, there are certain types of boats I dont like but we have to rember ,
    All members are equal on this forum, no mater where they are. Some members find It Interesting to see where other members sail and what there lakes are like , we all go on holiday and some of us like to know what Is near by.I have even visited sailing venues In Perth Aus, very different to what we have.
