[Rhodes22-list] Catastrophe or a disaster?

Sun Mar 9 18:13:34 EDT 2008

Well, what can I say, it election session again, the political BS is running
a little hot, but on the other hand any sailing question does seem to be
answered, they're just not that many sailing questions, but that will change
with spring coming up. The view is "the list will talk about what ever
people want to post about within the limit of good taste". Like now we are
talking about your request, "which is denied" :-), as a piratical matter if
the only thing we talked about was sailing, people would bore of it when
they got to expert level and leave. Sailing Magazines are great examples,
how many do you still read after the first year?  Do you know how to filter
your mail into different "in" boxes?

  Don't you think it is just a little presumptuous and dismissive to declare
  what you think my "agenda" is when you don't know one thing about me? And
as
  regards your imagery of being strapped to your 'F-thing' while at full
  thrust, you will have to find someone else as I don't swing that way. (not
  that there is anything wrong with that).
