I sent the user a message explaining general etiquitte, and also sent him
instructions on how to unsubscribe. Just to be sure, I also forwarded
the messages to the administrators at his internet provider to see if
they can help him with his request to never receive email again.
Hopefully that will take care of his problem. :-)
While I'm writing, I meant ao ask a relevant question - I'm working with
the local district trying to start a couple of ships, and we're having
difficulty finding Skippers. We're able to find lots of committee
members, but almost invariably, they say that they wouldn't feel
comfortable being the Skipper (either they say that they're too old to
keep up with the physical and time requirements, or they're familiar with
scouting, but not boating). On a practical, rather than a theoretical
side, what does the job of Skipper involve? How much of the work on the
ship (a brand new unit, with a completely raw crew) would a Skipper
probably be doing?
