[Rhodes22-list] this is looking like the annual plea to chill out

[Brad Haslett]

John,

Having met a number of Rhodies in the flesh, the cyberspace posturing
quickly gives way to a common bond of a good boat and a pleasurable
pursuit.  Beer is a wonderful lubricant.  The world would be a better place
if it ran like 'da list'.  I've been invited off the list, invited back to
the list, and left on my own a couple of times.  Poor MJM just lays low and
keeps trudging forward.  I'd recommend him for a medal but I'm not sure we
have one for 'Doormat of the Year'.  He seems to pop-up just in the
nick-of-time and then just as quickly disappears. This list probably runs
off more business for Stan than it creates but then when Stan starts
bitching we'll all fall in line.

What a country!

Brad
