Hi Phil,

I feel like I should know this, but how do you finance the maintenance of this board, and how can folks like me who use it so much, contribute? I believe I have purchased items thru your sites but I lose track of who is doing what in this busy world that we live in. My bad for not keeping it all straight.

I don't have tons of free time, and this board is my defacto go-to site to talk about sailing, follow interesting discussions with interesting and capable folks, and ask questions. Reading this thread makes me feel like a guy who has been at the bar for a long time and hasn't even paid for a round, let alone tipped the bartender. I'm honestly curious how us users can contribute.

Thanks,

Max
