The end of 2008 us upon us, and it is formally the time to usher out the old and welcome the new. Speaking of new, I'd like to welcome the 26 new members to the site. They have signed up since last night in response to an email I sent out to folks I found on the internet associated with the Bates.
Welcome aboard, shipmates!
Now, since I did not consider the consequences of inviting 263 new individuals to sign up, I'm now overwhelmed with admin details as a result, and I need a vacation. So in about an hour I'm leaving for the rest of the week, to spend some time in a cabin up north, snowmobiling and sitting by the fire.
Yeah, it's a rough life. So the site will be without admin support for the next 5 days - if you have a problem, drop me an email, and I'll take care of it as soon as I can.
I received some offers to help - we'll sort those out as soon as I return. For those of you offering to submit photos, etc., be patient, instructions on posting will follow next week or so.
In the meantime, jump into the Scuttlebutt forum, figure out how to use it, and start posting relevant information, swapping stories, and reconnecting with old shipmates. If you make a mess, I'll clean it up when I get back.
Thanks for being a part of the launch of ssn-680.org.
