[Rhodes22-list] Political: continued, and a not so quick reply to tootle's message to me.

[Eric Nelson]

Wow I take a couple days away from the computer and look what happens!!!  ;)
Don't worry I take everything with a grain of salt, even pro/anti-Obama
propaganda (Poke). My mother always told me it's impolite to discuss
politics and religion in friendly conversation. I will save you the
annoyance of having to read through my political views, only leaving with,
You don't see my favorite candidate in the news relatively near as much as
other candidates.

Tootle I thank you for your corrections as to my message posting
difficulties.
In response to your message to me..

I kinda look at the IMF as 6 of one half dozen of the other. I love tweaking
things and the older style mast I get to have a lot of fun with. Besides It
really isn't that hard to deal with. I am getting to learn a lot more about
sail shape with this setup.

As for the thread, I bought some awning thread that is supposed to be to
some degree UV resistant. I know it's not the super heavy duty UV, acid, and
Kryptonite resistant thread that Gore makes but it'll do for a year or two.
Do you know how hard it is to find waxed polyester thread at 7:00 pm on a
Wednesday night to stitch a bolt rope back in?

The website you had sent me I had already checked and added myself to just
after you had sent me that link, and it listed only one other Puget Sound
sailor. Although my message here garnished me a contact and a lot more
information and who and what is going on in the Puget Sound Rhodes and
Sailing related.
As for the subject line..... HEY! THERE IS A BUTTON TO EDIT THE SUBJECT LINE
IN GMAIL!!!!! WHOO HOO!!! Ok actually I felt pretty stupid that I hadn't
noticed it before but hey.

Search the archives? Ok well it took some digging around, because you didn't
actually reference nabble.com and mailman on the rhodes22.org site isn't
exactly search friendly. When you said I need to learn how to search, not
knowing you you presumably were referring to nabble.com I had been trying to
get google to do a site specific search on the archives with less than
stellar results. So now after futzing around with google I realize Hey
Nabble has siphoned off the list and made a search for it. Hmmm Maybe I
should try that instead. I am still looking for Hot Keys. I have a lot of
black ones and a few blue glowy ones though do those count?

And as for the whole politics thing, Bah! All politics is outside of
actually voting and expressing your opinion to your duly appointed
representative is a reason for people to argue, I mean, debate with each
other.

Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that I am fairly light hearted and try to be
a kind person, but my sense of humor doesn't always get across. If anything
I ever say comes off as disparaging, please ask me about it because it is
likely that it sounded funny in my messed up head but didn't translate well
in email.
