Welcome aboard Trawler World List!
You have joined an interactive mailing list that informs and entertains
more than 850 subscribers in Anguilla, Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, British
Virgin Islands, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary,
India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Puerto
Rico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden,
United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Venezuela,
in addition to Canada and the U.S.
Please familiarize yourself with List rules and procedures which can be
found at <http://www.trawlerworld.com/c_listrules.htm> before you start
posting messages to the List. Bookmark the URL for future reference.
To help discussion develop, how about a few lines of introduction about
yourself in a post to the List? What is your background in boating, under
sail and under power? What boat do you currently own, and/or what boat are
you looking to acquire? Where is your home port? What are your cruising
plans? To post a message to the List, address it to
<trawler-world-list@XXX.XXX
If you are new to interactive mailing lists, you will definitely want to
monitor conversations--lurk, in Net lingo--for a week or more before
joining the discussions. Please listen before you leap for Trawler World
List is not a chat room.
If you have a question about trawlers and trawlering, before you post your
question to the List, please check the archives at
<http://www.samurai.com/lists/> for any earlier discussions on your subject.
You can use Google to conduct a search of the archives, as recommended by
Listee Garrett Lambert. Go to <http://www.google.com> and, in the search
box, type the words you're seeking, a space, and then the phrase
<site:samurai.com> without the <>. Here's an example: Lehman engine zincs
site:samurai.com
Again, I'm glad to have you aboard!

PS Trawler World Productions sponsors the list as a public service,
exclusively for the non-business use of private individuals.
Commercial messages, for-sale offerings and for-charter postings are
prohibited on the list, by an overwhelming vote of subscribers. A separate
list, Trawler World Buy-Sell-Trade, exists for that purpose. Go
<http://www.trawlerworld.com/c_lists_buysell.htm>.
Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation is prohibited. People
who work in boating are welcome to participate on the list as individuals,
sharing their expertise when appropriate. They must refrain from openly
promoting or inadvertently shilling for their products and services in
posts to the list. When in doubt, switch to private email. Blatant
billboarding only hurts their own cause on a list devoted to the
non-business use of private individuals.
