Dear L.,

You say you don't understand the attitude so let me help you understand. 
First, if you think we're going to lose the 
sarcasm, you're in the wrong place, dear.  And you say you don't need this
site...  Guess what?  That goes both ways 
for sure.  You might not need this but it IS the definitive place for R22
info and lots of other fun and interesting stuff 
too.

We'd be more than happy to take you into our fold--and you seem like the
intelligent, live-wire type that we'd
like to have onboard-- but you're going to have to play it our way.  We
like to know a liitle more about you so we can 
tease, badger, cajole at will, so you might as well get over yourself. 
This is as much a social group as it is a sailing 
forum.  Would you walk into a house party and refuse to give your name for
Pete's sake?  

Slim   Yes, it's a nickname but most everyone here knows why I use it and
they all know my real name too.

Excuse me, but I don't understand the attitude.

I would like to place an order for a Rhodes tomorrow
if it were possible...however, I have other financial
responsibilities which will take me about two years to
deal with.

I am an experienced sailor who 
1) doesn't particularly need this site to get the
information I need, and
2)will give my name when I am good and ready, if ever.

Lose the sarcasm, folks. 

BTW...if you'd like to know what I understand, why not
ask?
