Here here, I agree. I think by having the group's focus be
celestial navigation we gather a group of people that have paid the price of
admission: they have spent time studying navigation more than most people.
Once this group has gathered, it is a shame to limit the discussion to just this
one topic. Navigation is, after all, only one part of a successful
voyager, and our asides on lightning protection or other cruising topics are
often very valuable to me. Yet if these other topics were broached on
other mailing lists we would often get a much lower signal to noise ratio of
useful knoweldge.
Few of us get to cruise every day on our vessels. This mailing list
keeps the dream alive every day, encouraging us to find the time to actually get
out there and sail and cruise and navigate, and perhaps, navigate by
lunars!

Dan Hogan, could we keep it simple?? Would
it be fair to say that any "borderline" discussion is permitted on this list
until you personally step in and say it is not? If that covers it, we could stop
all of this hypothetical hair-splitting (which is itself off-topic). As far as I
can see NONE of the discussion of GPS in the past few days was really about GPS
in the first place, and all of this worry from some list members that they might
be "breaking the rules" is a distraction from useful and relevant
discussion.From: Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM]On Behalf Of Frank Reed
