Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] how to get out of this email group:...Side Bar

Steve,
 
As far as I'm concerned, you enthusiasm is great.  For years this group has been made up of a "hot and heavy few" with a bunch of sideliners following along.  That's normal.  Many join in of a while and then fade to the side to return when the situation fits again.  A good healthy mix. 
 
I used to do a lot of mechanical design.  I still do some but I'm must say, I'm from the old school.  When, to be doing anything with electronics involved, meant you used a hand held calculator.   I have dabbled with AutoCAD some but still feel just as comfortable with a drafting machine.  I can hear the young guys now.  Wow!  An actual living dinosaur, and he's part of this group too.  Truth be told , I bet I'm not the only one. 
 
My point is I would appreciate a little clear explanation of what this is all about as it's evolving if possible.  I know you all don't have the time to bring an old guy up to speed totally, but we on this list are from many different backgrounds and may not understand what is coming together and where we could contribute unless things are lied out clearly. 
 
I'm sure I can contribute something, if only to point out some of the pitfalls of constructing the K-350 I now have 3/4 complete.  I'm not interested in building another sub but will help the project where I can.  
 
Thanks for listening,  Dan H.

I hope all this talk and discussion about Linux, programming,
sensing devices...etc., hasn't ostracized anyone or cause a
sense of exclusion.
I know I can get caught up in the excitement and prospects of an
interesting project.  I know this is not the intent of the current thread
about "Open Source Submarine".
I have found myself at times in the sidelines observing and reading
email, wishing I could comment or suggest something, but not
knowing enough or not having the understanding enough to ask
meaningful questions. ( That does not imply that " I " feel excluded
personally...I don't ! ). Learning is part of the process here on pSubs
and sometimes I find sitting back, taking it all in gives me new material
to research. This forum has kept me quite busy and often up late at
night reading, thinking, and gives me the incentive to create new concepts
and ideas.
 
Well, I hope I'm not out-of-line in my comments here or too sentimental
or pollyannish. If I'm reading this all wrong then my apologies.
 
Bruno, I hope you're not leaving due to feeling frustrated in some way.
If you're here for subs then I say you're in the right place. If not then
send an email to:
 
majordomo@psubs.org
