Many thanks Clem,
and many thanks -again- Jeremy, for your offer of admin help.
With your active involvement, pending Matt's permission, it looks like this forum could really be brought up to scratch, and be maintained properly for a while.
Jonathan, I know you mean well, but I would rather not rush into a new and separate "Swallowboats Owners Association" at this stage. Let us see and experience for a while what the updated forum can do for us in future, below the threshold of starting a new one.
Maybe we can do small adjustments too. For instance, we can rename this forum from Swallow Boats Forum, which sounds a bit commercial, to "Swallowboaters Forum", and a subline: "This forum is maintained and loosely moderated by users of Swallowboats boats, and serves as intermediate "Non-Association"- Association for all interested in, or actively building, or using, or having used one or several Swallowboats boats. Signing up to it is free, all users of other similar boats are welcome to join in the discussion, and no censorship will be exerted, ever. In case, if you have read this far, we consider you must be interested enough, so do consider yourself a member, and join in the forum and fun actively."
