[Rhodes22-list] Terror Threats in Europe in 2011

[Michael D. Weisner]

Alan,

While I may agree with you in principal, what protocol are you referring to? 
Please review my previous post regarding da list Rules of Engagement, or, 
more precisely, "The Rhodes 22 Owner's Group Mailing List Charter" 
(http://www.rhodes22.org/list/ )

While I got quite a few laughs from the posting, long time protocol of the 
Rhodes 22 owners list is to use it for Rhodes 22 and related  sailing 
matters. Please do so Bob!!

  Bob,
  As a European, I find this posting offensive. Besides, as this is a blog
  for R22 owners, I strongly believe it would be nice to keep restrict
  this nice communication tool to matters related to sailing and Rhodes22
  technical tips and questions. There is no need to add further trash to
  the irritating flow of spam on e-mails.

have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are 
"Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire 
that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the 
country's military capability.

"Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat 
Operations" and "Change Sides.” The Germans have increased their alert state 
from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." 
They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I 
think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is 
canceled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final 
escalation level.
