Last year, a high school classmate of mine, a fellow whose prior boating
experience was plying the waters of LI Sound in a daysailer, remarried
(he was a widower) and he and his bride spent six months on a 40'
sailboat they chartered going to many ports of call in the Mediterranean
(and docking the boat and going inland), starting in Spain, with
landings in France, Italy, Albania (yikes!) and Greece, and a couple of
others I don't recall. That's a trip I'd love to take to put water under
my keel.

Indeed, but those are just tasks I handle as a volunteer. Fortunately,
the consulting work for which I get paid allows me to be a volunteer in
my spare time. Perhaps you should consider enrolling in my class on "How
Not To Be A Snarky Asshole On Usenet," W'hine. You obviously need
help.


You could possibly teach the course. You definitely know how to be a
snarky asshole.


I do. And you, of course, are expert in playing the uninformed fool.


Your liberal arts education does not seem to be treating you well. Two
bankruptcies? Maybe you should have take some courses that actually helped
you.
