sgflikchik,
You signed up by asking to join this Group. No one can just remove you because you're asking. If you want to leave you've got to do it yourself. Log into the Group on the Yahoo! Group site for the shiponedingroup (here is the direct link for that if you need it: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/shiponedingroup/info).
Once you're signed in look for the pull-down menu for "Membership v" (the v is the down arrowhead indicating the pull-down menu) which is on the right side of the page just below the Group's banner. Note: the Group's banner at the moment is just a large grey rectangle. (You'll see a small black circle with a white ? in it next to the "Membership v" link.) Click on that Membership menu and select the "Edit Membership" link at the bottom.
Once you're in the Edit Membership area, look down the page for the "Leave Group" section, which is the last section on that page. Then just click on the button that says "Leave Group" and you can go on your merry way.

PMSubject: Re: [shiponedingroup] Re: Yahoo
Groups Are Going AwayHi Bill,
could you check if you can send an invite from
the group to an email address?
If so, it seems to me that the groups.io transfer can still work. You need to
create a new group there, and upgrade it to premium for one year. It costs
$220 when paid in advance for the full year, or $20/month. I am willing to do
this including paying for it (and then later we can organize some sharing of
the cost, but let's not try to do it now as time is scarce), but only if you
can send an invite, as otherwise it will not work. So, please check if you can
send an invite.On Fri, Dec 6, 2019 at 1:17 PM 'Bill' william.whittaker1@ntlworld.com

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]Hey, Bill,
Sorry to hear about the computer problems with the loss of login details. If you've got a moderator or two that have been helping you with the ShipOnedinGroup, they might have enough access to the Group to get the transfer done. So far I've only got one reply from the other Group owners I've asked, but here's what he had to say:
"I just created an account. I did not do their formal transfer or pay anything.One of my moderators and I both backed up the Yahoo account and he mostly added the files to IO. He may have done the messages as well, but I have them and keep forgetting to look or add them myself.As far as the membership goes, people have to go there and join if Yahoo completely tanks.Those are the only things I can tell you."So it looks like they didn't do much more than start the Groups.io account, and rather than pay for the powers at IO to do the transfer, they transferred the files themselves, and now just have to upload the messages. As for members creating their accounts, it was actually easier than it was creating my Yahoo account. Once the Groups.io account is created, members just have to send the usual request to the Group they want to join (so that much is pretty well the same as with Yahoo). Also, with Groups.io the first message any new member sends is moderated, so the Group owner and moderators will have to approve it. After the first message, it's posting as usual with no moderation… unless the Group owner or a moderator deletes the message for some reason; again the same as with Yahoo.
I'm still waiting on the others I've asked about the migration to reply. They have busy lives with work, so it might take a day or so, though I did mention the urgency of the 14 December deadline. As soon as I hear more I'll let you know.
I hope some of this was helpful.
All the best,Dino.

I still have about 100 messages (including all 44 of
mine) which I could
send you. They're in plaintext (including
the mail headers) which makes
it easy (one copy operation) to
put them into a new inbox in my
Thunderbird email reader. I can
supply instructions. Maybe you'd prefer
one text file without
the headers.
A dozen+ of my messages referred to
10 minute videos ("The Running
Tide") I posted on my public
onedrive site. They're 30-50 megabytes
each, still available to
download from
https://onedrive.live.com/?id=DF9A1A8355E5C330%21172&cid=DF9A1A8355E5C330
I did not post them to shiponedingroup files because
they were not
actually part of The Onedin Line, they were
fillers added by my local
PBS station after the broadcast of
each TOL in the first season. They're
seafaring documentaries
on a subject related to the TOL episode. I don't
have the
copyright to them but I have never received a complaint from
PBS and I couldn't find them online or elsewhere. If you're setting
up a
new group or compiling TOL files you (or TOL fans) are
welcome to copy them…

Hey, Jean,
The Group has been really quiet for the longest time, so I was hoping that someone was still out there, besides me. The episodes on Google (or YouTube) are few, but it is nice to see them. Some years ago before the FBI seized the megaupload site, they had almost every 'Onedin Line' episode available in AVI format. There was another such site (which I can't remember) that had episodes, also in AVI format, that weren't on megaupload. Between those two sites and some help from friends in the UK, I managed to get the entire series. Granted I can only watch it on my computer, but it's better than not watching it at all!
Michael Billington was a really nice person. Though I never met him in person, I did contact his web site back in early 2000, asking if anyone had info about the ship Anne Onedin/Scotch Lass (portrayed by a redressed Charlotte Rhodes with a fake funnel). I thought I would just get a standard fan reply, but it came from "Mike" (as he said to call him) himself. It was my e-mail address that intrigued him. At the time I was active duty in the US Coast Guard, so my e-mail address ended with .uscg.mil, and he wondered if the "usc" was something in the UK (a university, I think: can't quite remember since it was 17 years ago). So I explained what it actually meant, and we started pen-palling across the pond. He's the one that let me know how they redressed the Charlotte Rhodes to play the Anne Onedin – or Scotch Lass – depending on which episodes you watched. Basically, all of the wheelhouse structure and funnel and anything else on the Anne Onedin/Scotch Lass were fakes and lightweight so they could be added and removed easily as needed.
We even talked about his role as Paul Foster on 'UFO', and how he got to work with some great sci-fi stuff, Gerry Anderson, and those cute girls with the purple wigs on Moonbase. He said the Moon and space scenes were his favorites. He said one of his favorite pranks was to throw on one of those wigs when they were going for a take, and when one of the girls would turn around from her console to deliver her lines, expecting to do so seriously, she would see him staring at her with a blank expression and that wig on, and she would start laughing uncontrollably. (It make me wish I could get my hands on the DVD release of 'UFO'. I've heard they had some outtakes as part of the Special Features on and I'd love to see them.) Mike was so friendly. It broke my heart when I sent him an e-mail from the ship I was stationed on, with a photo of a tall ship I spotted while we were on patrol in the Caribbean, and got a reply from someone with the bad news that Mike had passed.
I have another pen-pal in the UK that was one of the crew on Charlotte Rhodes during the filming years (before the owner sold the ship to new Dutch owners), and she said pretty much the same thing about the redressing. She also said that most of the scenes filmed on the Charlotte Rhodes was done at the pier (saved on cost that way), using angles that never really let anyone see the "ocean" around them. Once in a while they would set sail for filming when it was necessary. She, like me, was sad to see Charlotte Rhodes leave the series, and even more sad when someone with a grudge set fire to her in her new home and she was burned to the waterline, pretty much destroying her. (I loved that particular ship.) Someone that once had a web site devoted to her (now defunct), had a photo of her wreck posted with loads of other photos of her. He lived not far from the wreck.
He also made a great model of the ship, and I bought a copy of the plans he'd made based on known measurements and images from the series. My pen-pal confirmed some of the measurements since she was part of the crew, so the plans are pretty accurate, or as accurate as they can be. That guy had a small video of his r/c version of the model sailing on a lake and it looked really cool. (The static model I got the plans for is 3 feet long; the r/c version is a little larger to accommodate the batteries, motors, and r/c control equipment.) I still haven't gotten around to building the model yet, mainly because I don't have the room, but one day I'll get to it. We used to send Christmas e-mails to each other during the holidays, but once his site went down, my e-mails to him got kicked back. I tried searching for him, but he's just dropped off of the planet. I'm still in contact with my Charlotte Rhodes crew pen-pal, though.
Well, I can blither on more, but I think I've probably bored you (and everyone else) enough for one night! 😉

Subject: [shiponedingroup] Re: Missing Onedin Line Episode?I'm definitely going to try to get a look at this one, and hopefully get a copy of the rumored restored version on DVD as the Christian Radich occasionally pulls into Norfolk, Virginia, where I can get a good look at her. We have other 'Onedin Line' ships visit us as well, namely the Soren Larsen, and the Statstraad Lehmkuhl.Incidentally, I noticed while watching an episode recently that while the Christian Radich was quite often seen in episodes, the ship in the opening credits actually has the name Statstraad Lehmkuhl on the side.

Okay, I'm usually quiet about things like this, but calling fellow members names (in the vulgar slang) is uncalled for, especially when one of those members was the Music Advisor to the Series we love so much! Did you ever consider the fact that neither of those members might not have known about the restored film, or that it was available on DVD? Did it occur to you to post the question to them via the Group? Or did you just have this need to fling vulgar insults and accusations at members (which I'm sure must be a violation of the Group's rules)? Mr. Brady, you may be right, but the way you've gone about it is so very wrong.Moderators, Group Owner, please take some action on this.
Dino.

Subject: Re: [shiponedingroup] Christian Radich filmFuck guys. Its taken millions of dollars and a huge amount of work to get this film restored. There was only ONE remaining viable print, that was discovered by accident in a vault. This was the basis for the restoration.The restoration itself – using computer algorithms for the recolouring – took thousands of hours. And the budget even didn't allow for a BluRay version at first.
THERE WERE NO PROFITS TO BE MADE FROM THIS RESTORATION.
Meanwhile some twat made a pirate copy from a worn out print in Australia. He sold DVD copies on eBay.
However when the restored version was released he agree to withdraw his version.
Now we get other twats trying to pirate the film on Usenet, and even Rareshare.me
And they have the gall to advertise here.
For God's sake buy the bloody thing – its worth it and helps to provide funding for further restorations.

Series 8/9Happy New Year to you, too, Bill! (And to everyone else as well!) I'd have replied sooner, but I was off line as well for a few days – not the computer: me! My back injury was acting up again, and I got hit with a bad vertigo episode. So, I was flat on my back (or curled up in a ball) for several days waiting for the aches and dizzies to go away. Things are better now and I'm at least back on my feet for short hops.Sorry to hear about your site, Bill. I wish there was a way to send a massive "kill-the-computer" virus to the hacker so he would get fried (and I'd love to fry him; I abhor hackers!). Another group I belong to for an early 1970s show ('Search' in the US, 'Search Control' in the UK and I think a few other places) had their site hijacked and held for ransom a few years ago. Rather than paying the $3k USD fee to have the site released, the guy who built the site just built another site (on arthost.com) and loaded all of the things that were thankfully backed up onto the new site. So far <knocking on wood> there have been no more problems.
Hopefully you'll get things sorted out soon and we'll have smooth sailing once again!
Dino.

Happy New Year!Just a quick note for anyone who might try to
access the Onedin Line section of my website.Due to a hacker gaining control of my
web servers, I have l deleted all of the sites. Much of the content had
been altered so this was the safest opition.There is a backup stored in the cloud so it will
return, but it will remain off-line until any issues with security are
identified and corrected.Bill.If you'd like to see a shaven Michael Billington in a larger role, then 'UFO' is a good series. He played Colonel Paul Foster. The series is available on Netflix, but sadly not for streaming; you have to select the DVDs.Dino.

Sailing experts could confirm if "lying to" is also done anchored in
calm fog (James does give some order a few minutes earlier that I think
meant "give up, stop"). Your dictionary's definition is interesting, now
I'd like a description of "coming up and falling off".> @34:55

Lee,I have to watch that episode again to fill in the blanks and hear what was said. (Unlike with the original 'Trek' re-runs, I haven't watched TOL episodes enough to have most of the episodes' dialogue memorized.) Unfortunately I won't have access to my videos for the next week – currently travelling on holiday for our anniversary. My videos are on the home computer and I won't be getting home until late May 30th, and I'll probably need the 31st to let my back recover from all the travelling. If no one's answered you by then, on Saturday or Sunday I'll re-watch that episode (with your post in front of me) and see what I can do.
Dino.
