Re: [bolger] Why PB&F does not do FACEBOOK

Suzanne,

I am offering to help with distributing plans of the Chebacco models (#540, #540RD and #702).  

If you will agree, I will list them for sale on the Chebacco.com website and if I receive orders I will print out copies of the appropriate plans and keys (which I have in my files) and post them anywhere in the world, or scan and email them.  I will subtract a handling fee and remit to you the rest.  I am primarily interested in promoting the building of Chebaccos so anything that I can do to make it easier for builders and for you.

If this of interest please send me a message at andrew@... and we can work out the details.

Andrew Yen
Chebacco.com
Good to hear from you, David
In fact, I have left a note on your answering machine noting that the FAX-transmission – or my aging machine – did not produce the most readable letters when it came to the names of all three designs; one or two I could read but not all.
So, now you have answered my inquiry and I will get back to you.

I’ll try another FAX-machine.

Susanne,

I happen to be a bit slow to take on new burdens, such as facebook, but will do so when absolutely necessary (it's not necessary yet :o).. I did, btw, fax you last week and am interested in buying either study plans or full plans for three boats (Long micro, Romp and Swedish cruiser). I am now wondering if faxing you was the best way to inquire?
Best,
David

I contacted the sender, checked whether he was still interested, then deposited the check and got the plans printed and out.

Hello All.
     This nationally-syndicated Boston-based NPR radio-show one more time confirms the challenges that emanate from partaking in and steering folks towards FACEBOOK:http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/ 2016/10/19/facebook-ad- tracking-targeting
The ethics of contributing voluntarily to this seem too dark to accept.
As far as possible not purposefully dragging family and friends into this seems indicated.
Yes there are other forms of ‘tracking’ and ‘accumulating’, but few as far-reaching as this scheme.

I have tried a few times to peek over the fence about what some folks appear to be so excited about over in FACEBOOK-World.
But between an apparent ‘wall’ against even sampling and the unwillingness to ‘bare it all’ for our good friends at FB PB&F shall remain outside of those very expensive confines.

Meanwhile MAIB-column # 506 is in the works.
Between work since 2002 and e.g. the recent presentation at a national conference, our work towards much ‘greener types’ in the Commercial Fisheries has for the first time been elevated to Fisheries Management Council level of discussion.
Mil-Spec stuff appears to continue as well with yet another meeting with active-duty folks.
The heavy-lifting project of securing long-term access to the Archive continues unabated step by step.
Etc. Etc.

As I put my trusty light schooner away for the winter season , I notice that the facebook controversy invades the forum once again. This time with more gusto and personal attacks  on PBF. Not why I joined up to this forum. I personally do not care for facebook in any form as do many other people , deal with it.  Best of luck to you Suzanne ,as for me I will not join facebook and will be unsubscribing from this forum as well.

Any ideas on how to get a response? Are they, in fact, responding? What type of payment should be sent if hoping for plans?

Hi Suzanne
First of all. I read the post you sent after Phil had passed away.. It was the first time I had heard that Phil had died. I cried for two days on and off.. It was so sad. He was a giant intellect and a good man. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so glad I can contact you via email! (I saw your post on Bolger Yahoo.....)
I am VERY eager to get the Sneakeasy II and Bee plans. I am in Australia near Melbourne. International payments are problematic.. Is there any other way I can pay you? Paypal perhaps? I will off course pay all paypal fees, if you can do it that way.
By the way, have you talked further to Duckworks about them selling your plans? That would be so perfect... Or Instant boats... I mean, you know what I mean...
Kind Regards
Ed Koetsier

FROM PB&F to ED:

Well, Ed, a few seasons later, things are not fully balanced out but close enough to discuss plans.
Plans for Design # 581 BEE are listed at $35.-
Plans for Design # 496 BIRDWATCHER in a combined package of both versions are $200.-
All quotes in US$, to build one boat, plus postage to Australia of about $15 per plans-tube.
Turn-around these days should be no more than two weeks.

International Money-Order or a Bank-Draft made out to Phil Bolger & Friends Inc. will work.
 
Yours
       Susanne Altenburger, PB&F
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed, (assuming no other form of communication with me), what is your challenge ?
You enquired, eventually got an answer, but then appear to not have moved on the opportunity to buy these plans.

Phil did not always get to all letters, and advised me that serious folks will remind him of their continuing interest.


You’ve got to understand, Ed, that I am under no obligation to do any business with you, or anyone with your approach to discussing minor correspondence-issues in this language online.

And for extra postage to Australia, MAIB can be read down-under, to keep you cued in on more developments from this office...

I am VERY eager to get the Sneakeasy II and Bee plans. I am in Australia near Melbourne. International payments are problematic.. Is there any other way I can pay you? Paypal perhaps? I will off course pay all paypal fees, if you can do it that way.
By the way, have you talked further to Duckworks about them selling your plans? That would be so perfect... Or Instant boats... I mean, you know what I mean...
Kind Regards

Well, Ed, a few seasons later, things are not fully balanced out but close enough to discuss plans.
Plans for Design # 581 BEE are listed at $35.-
Plans for Design # 496 BIRDWATCHER in a combined package of both versions are $200.-
All quotes in US$, to build one boat, plus postage to Australia of about $15 per plans-tube.
Turn-around these days should be no more than two weeks.

International Money-Order or a Bank-Draft made out to Phil Bolger & Friends Inc. will work.
 
Yours
       Susanne Altenburger, PB&F
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed, (assuming no other form of communication with me), what is your challenge ?
You enquired, eventually got an answer, but then appear to not have moved on the opportunity to buy these plans.

Phil did not always get to all letters, and advised me that serious folks will remind him of their continuing interest.


You’ve got to understand, Ed, that I am under no obligation to do any business with you, or anyone with your approach to discussing minor correspondence-issues in this language online.

And for extra postage to Australia, MAIB can be read down-under, to keep you cued in on more developments from this office...

And I, am still without plans for a Bolger Bee and a Bolger Birdwatcher 2, which I started asking about in 2010.
I have built Ross's excellent Flint in the meantime, but a still yearning for that Bee and that Birdwatcher 2, the bw2 being the finest designed yacht for solo seamanship ever, imho, although I never expect to have plans in my hot little hands, I have lost count of all the times I've asked about them WITH NO RESPONSE AT ALL SUSANNE.. am I shouting... ?..

Ms Altenburger,
 
This is your forum and I , for one , am happy to read your words in the forum of your choice. There's no need for you to justify your decisions or engage in debates about them . FB can be a useful forum. It can also be a hive of villainy and trolling. Thanks for all the wonderful articles and information that you provide us with on this forum.

You select you own security in facebook. That most people don't research how to do that is beside the point. You are swimming against the tide. We will do facebook whether you like it or not. Me personally, don't care. You have never responded to my inquiries about buying plans. Over half a decade of ignored requests. You are a roadblock.

Hello All.
     This nationally-syndicated Boston-based NPR radio-show one more time confirms the challenges that emanate from partaking in and steering folks towards FACEBOOK:http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/10/19/facebook-ad-tracking-targeting
The ethics of contributing voluntarily to this seem too dark to accept.
As far as possible not purposefully dragging family and friends into this seems indicated.
Yes there are other forms of ‘tracking’ and ‘accumulating’, but few as far-reaching as this scheme.

I have tried a few times to peek over the fence about what some folks appear to be so excited about over in FACEBOOK-World.
But between an apparent ‘wall’ against even sampling and the unwillingness to ‘bare it all’ for our good friends at FB PB&F shall remain outside of those very expensive confines.

Meanwhile MAIB-column # 506 is in the works.
Between work since 2002 and e.g. the recent presentation at a national conference, our work towards much ‘greener types’ in the Commercial Fisheries has for the first time been elevated to Fisheries Management Council level of discussion.
Mil-Spec stuff appears to continue as well with yet another meeting with active-duty folks.
The heavy-lifting project of securing long-term access to the Archive continues unabated step by step.
Etc. Etc.

Susanne Altenburger, PB&F

  






Ed, since you have had the necessary information on how to buy these plans for a good while now, it has been your choice to NOT buy e.g. BIRDWATCHER-2.
So, my friend, fare-thee-well...

That excerpt was from 2011, reported on Wooden Boats forum, as an illustration that it was an old problem 5 years ago.
I only suggested Duckworths as a way to make your life easier. As it is, you have driven me away from being a pure Bolger aficionado to being a Bolger aficionado (but no plans, despite trying) , Atkins, Lillistone, (and a couple others). They didn't seem to have any problems selling me their plans. I'm currently building a Ninigret, but I'd rather be building a Birdwatcher2, a Bee or a Micro Trawler. Alas....

Hello Boaters,

Am trying to get plans of Bolgers Wyoming and accompanying manual. Faxed Phil Bolger and Friends a few weeks ago and again a few days ago. No response.

Any ideas on how to get a response? Are they, in fact, responding? What type of payment should be sent if hoping for plans?

Any and all help would be appreciated. I want to get building!

Ed, (assuming no other form of communication with me), what is your challenge ?
You enquired, eventually got an answer, but then appear to not have moved on the opportunity to buy these plans.

Phil did not always get to all letters, and advised me that serious folks will remind him of their continuing interest.


You’ve got to understand, Ed, that I am under no obligation to do any business with you, or anyone with your approach to discussing minor correspondence-issues in this language online.

And I, am still without plans for a Bolger Bee and a Bolger Birdwatcher 2, which I started asking about in 2010.
I have built Ross's excellent Flint in the meantime, but a still yearning for that Bee and that Birdwatcher 2, the bw2 being the finest designed yacht for solo seamanship ever, imho, although I never expect to have plans in my hot little hands, I have lost count of all the times I've asked about them WITH NO RESPONSE AT ALL SUSANNE.. am I shouting... ?..

You select you own security in facebook. That most people don't research how to do that is beside the point. You are swimming against the tide. We will do facebook whether you like it or not. Me personally, don't care. You have never responded to my inquiries about buying plans. Over half a decade of ignored requests. You are a roadblock.

A quote from wooden boat from 2011.  This is a world wide problem S. You should just get Duckworths to sell the plans..

an old problem.....geting plans from Phil Bolger and Friends....any help appreciated

Hello Boaters,

Am trying to get plans of Bolgers Wyoming and accompanying manual. Faxed Phil Bolger and Friends a few weeks ago and again a few days ago. No response.

Any ideas on how to get a response? Are they, in fact, responding? What type of payment should be sent if hoping for plans?

Any and all help would be appreciated. I want to get building!

Alex in Bracebridge Ontario Canada

Hi Suzanne
First of all. I read the post you sent after Phil had passed away.. It was the first time I had heard that Phil had died. I cried for two days on and off.. It was so sad. He was a giant intellect and a good man. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so glad I can contact you via email! (I saw your post on Bolger Yahoo.....)
I am VERY eager to get the Sneakeasy II and Bee plans. I am in Australia near Melbourne. International payments are problematic.. Is there any other way I can pay you? Paypal perhaps? I will off course pay all paypal fees, if you can do it that way.
By the way, have you talked further to Duckworks about them selling your plans? That would be so perfect... Or Instant boats... I mean, you know what I mean...

Well, Ed, a few seasons later, things are not fully balanced out but close enough to discuss plans.
Plans for Design # 581 BEE are listed at $35.-
Plans for Design # 496 BIRDWATCHER in a combined package of both versions are $200.-
All quotes in US$, to build one boat, plus postage to Australia of about $15 per plans-tube.
Turn-around these days should be no more than two weeks.

International Money-Order or a Bank-Draft made out to Phil Bolger & Friends Inc. will work.

Ed, if you can find find a live specimen of the boat you like Y not take a bunch of measurements and photos and build something close enough to please you but slightly different so you can safely say it's your design. I think 20% different is legal. In fact I build everything my way anyway. I simply can't follow plans.  As a boy walking railroad tracks got boring. Blessings, Chief

Good get-together.
Productive couple actually.
We swapped notes on building stuff that floats.

You select you own security in facebook. That most people don't research how to do that is beside the point. You are swimming against the tide. We will do facebook whether you like it or not. Me personally, don't care. You have never responded to my inquiries about buying plans. Over half a decade of ignored requests. You are a roadblock.

Hello All.
     This nationally-syndicated Boston-based NPR radio-show one more time confirms the challenges that emanate from partaking in and steering folks towards FACEBOOK:http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/10/19/facebook-ad-tracking-targeting
The ethics of contributing voluntarily to this seem too dark to accept.
As far as possible not purposefully dragging family and friends into this seems indicated.
Yes there are other forms of ‘tracking’ and ‘accumulating’, but few as far-reaching as this scheme.

I have tried a few times to peek over the fence about what some folks appear to be so excited about over in FACEBOOK-World.
But between an apparent ‘wall’ against even sampling and the unwillingness to ‘bare it all’ for our good friends at FB PB&F shall remain outside of those very expensive confines.

Meanwhile MAIB-column # 506 is in the works.
Between work since 2002 and e.g. the recent presentation at a national conference, our work towards much ‘greener types’ in the Commercial Fisheries has for the first time been elevated to Fisheries Management Council level of discussion.
Mil-Spec stuff appears to continue as well with yet another meeting with active-duty folks.
The heavy-lifting project of securing long-term access to the Archive continues unabated step by step.
Etc. Etc.

Agree with Leigh, 100%! While I'm all over FB, no need for everyone and everything to be there. Though I do find the idea of a Yahoo system being more secure amusing, especially given the monumental data breach they had a week or two ago! ;)

Ms Altenburger,
 
This is your forum and I , for one , am happy to read your words in the forum of your choice. There's no need for you to justify your decisions or engage in debates about them . FB can be a useful forum. It can also be a hive of villainy and trolling. Thanks for all the wonderful articles and information that you provide us with on this forum.

Ed,
Security setting do not change the fact that Facebook owns all content that is posted, just because you don't share it does not change this fact.

However Susanne,
You do not have to publish your plans on Facebook. Placing ads on Facebook does not carry the copyright to materials you have not published on Facebook. Facebook will own the content of the ad, but not the item you are selling.

Just FYI, and if you set up your own vendor server you could be selling plans without ever having to interact with the customer, meaning you just watch the money roll in. All YOU need to do is create the advertisement and do a little testing of your demographics and see which ads do the best for you.

I will have admit that I have a bunch of unanswered letters on the desk.
And I am shrinking it...
To my surprise I recently missed that one actually had a check in it.
Odd oversight indeed.
I contacted the sender, checked whether he was still interested, then deposited the check and got the plans printed and out.

Well, Ed, a lot of folks do ‘stuff’ I‘d rather not be anywhere near of.
Except here, there is no quick fix/pill/shot to overcome the uglies related to FB.
If I can help it, I will not bathe in that ‘marinade’.

You may be perfectly comfy in it.
Question of course is why ??
The costs to you and yours are crushing...but as long as you’re comfy perhaps then...

About your much broader scope on ‘antichrist’ visions, no comment.
This office however is hard- and software-wise reasonably up-to-date in 2016, just without FACEBOOK... plus without a few other ‘no-go-zones’ and ‘will-not-indulge-in’ temptations... 


Looking at my (possibly limited) e-mail tree from yousince well before Phil’s death, you enquired starting in early Sept. of 2014 about 3 designs, got answers about two, with me not knowing why I did not respond to the third, but also seeing no follow-up by you to nudge me about the third.
You may have sent letters...  And, again, my e-mail files may be incomplete.


Finally, and forgive my chuckling here, Phil would have little patience with your approach here and personal online-preferences in general.
Remember that he carried the Libertarian Party Membership Card with a very low number on it.
Ergo, no submissiveness on his part to any voluntary level of intrusiveness like FB - which makes good ol’ J.Edgar Hoover look like a 3.5 (out of 5) –Star Civil Libertarian.
Of course, your political-cultural reference points may well be at distinct variance with such sensitivities.

At any rate, no PB&F with PB&F on FB.
And don’t forget that our stuff is ours...

If we are in dodoo, 500 MILLION people are right there with us. So google, facebook and microsoft are all the antichrist... Give me a break.

“....You select you own security in facebook. ..”
Oh well...in that case you’ll be all set then.
By all means do FACEBOOK...

Except that you should actually listen to this NPR piece, or read up on the flip-side of the matter.

How many times have I heard about all sorts of ‘great’ offerings that ‘they all do this these days’... or something like that.

So, why join this dark Worst-of-the-Wild-West-Days utterly irresponsible unregulated not-so-free-for–all mega-intrusiveness ?

What’s next ?
- Internet Banking ?
- Your Medical Records on a billboard/online ?
- Your personal Schedule past/present/future because you can ‘sync’ your ‘devoices’, all superbly protected by a $29.99.- ‘fire-wall’ ??
 

I just won’t be enabling any of this by endorsing it.
There are responsibilities that go way beyond casual and ultimately very expensive and unmanageable ‘conveniences’...
For starters, the ethics of this are beyond intolerable...

So, Ed, I recently visited with a guy who had and continues to build boats. 
Good get-together.
Productive couple actually.
We swapped notes on building stuff that floats.

You select you own security in facebook. That most people don't research how to do that is beside the point. You are swimming against the tide. We will do facebook whether you like it or not. Me personally, don't care. You have never responded to my inquiries about buying plans. Over half a decade of ignored requests. You are a roadblock.

Hello All.
     This nationally-syndicated Boston-based NPR radio-show one more time confirms the challenges that emanate from partaking in and steering folks towards FACEBOOK:http://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2016/10/19/facebook-ad-tracking-targeting
The ethics of contributing voluntarily to this seem too dark to accept.
As far as possible not purposefully dragging family and friends into this seems indicated.
Yes there are other forms of ‘tracking’ and ‘accumulating’, but few as far-reaching as this scheme.

I have tried a few times to peek over the fence about what some folks appear to be so excited about over in FACEBOOK-World.
But between an apparent ‘wall’ against even sampling and the unwillingness to ‘bare it all’ for our good friends at FB PB&F shall remain outside of those very expensive confines.

Meanwhile MAIB-column # 506 is in the works.
Between work since 2002 and e.g. the recent presentation at a national conference, our work towards much ‘greener types’ in the Commercial Fisheries has for the first time been elevated to Fisheries Management Council level of discussion.
Mil-Spec stuff appears to continue as well with yet another meeting with active-duty folks.
The heavy-lifting project of securing long-term access to the Archive continues unabated step by step.
Etc. Etc.

Wow. Wonder of wonders!. An email from Susanne. I listen to npr all the time here in Australia. Although the are a bit left leaning, they are pretty good. But I'm over all this evil facebook shit. If we are in dodoo, 500 MILLION people are right there with us. So google, facebook and microsoft are all the antichrist... Give me a break.
