Goodbye all, I remember reading page after page of posts 15 to 20 years ago. Now without a boat these are just good memories.

We like to think that all forums that followed were mere copycats. ##### At one point, the main T&T list had more than 2,000 subscribers, with sister lists having as many as 1,000 each. Today, the main T&T List still has 1,447 subscribers, with Trawlers Buy-Sell-Trade at 1,542 and Great Loop at 916. ##### But, for a whole bunch of reasons, traffic started slowing in recent times, and now has completely died without a single post in a long time. ##### Thus, I’ll be shutting down the three remaining lists at month’s end. ##### My huge thanks to Bob McLeran who has served as List Administrator since almost the beginning, 2004 to be exact. The countless hours he has volunteered are just that, countless—and way beyond the call of duty. Much thanks also to Alex, Kevin, Steven and others who volunteered on the Admin Help Team. ##### My great thanks also to Listees who answered the periodic call for financial contributions to help cover operating costs. ##### I will miss all of you. ##### Stay safe! ##### —Georgs ##### Georgs Kolesnikovs ##### Your host at Trawlers & Trawlering List since 1997<https://lists.trawlering.com/> ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ To modify your Great-Loop subscription options (change email address, unsubscribe, etc.) go to: http://lists.trawlering.com/mailman/options/great-loop_lists.trawlering.com ------------------------------ End of Great-Loop Digest, Vol 182, Issue 3 ******************************************
