I've been a member of this list 4 years or so.  Last 3 weeks of traffic was
not pleasant to me so I'll leave.  Besides the stereotyping, condescending
and superior tone writings such as below are not enjoyable, and I've done
the loop.

Peter,
Don't be discouraged by the negatives and those who refuse to do  
their homework (or obey laws).  There are plenty on the list who need  
and appreciate our help!  For many, this is their introduction to  
Long Range Cruising (more than a couple hundred miles from their home  
port).
Unfortunately, many on the list have not completed the Great Loop and/ 
or even know what it is???  My analysis is that this list should be  
called the "Snowbirds" List (go North in the Spring and South in the  
Fall).
