Danny,
You have clearly misunderstood Tadpole's attempt to come to your aid.

Let me try - even though my vocabulary is smaller!

**Our opinions don't matter sh&t!**

Think about it. We won't affect the profitibility of your corporations.
We are unlikely to to have any perceptible affect on the sales of your
music. You are not likely to meet any of us while you are out sailing.



I am truly sorry that I resorted to defending myself. I was attacked for
knowing something and asked to qualify myself. How else can one do that?

"How else?". Wrong question.

"Why" would you defend yourself to us? Huh?


If I knew, I would have. I have yet to give anything near the extent of
what I have or what I have done.

What on earth makes you think that any body cares about what you have done?
Do you care about what *I* have done? NO, of course not! Neither does
anybody else.

This is a forum of words.



It is not likely that there are many
that are as well traveled. I am sure that there are many that are more
wealthy as I never made that a priority in life

I already knew that. You cannot get wealthy if you feel the need to prove
that you are better than everybody else.

Do you like giving your money to people who want to prove that you atr
wrong?



The individuals that are going after me are locals here
but non productive in a serious thread. The man that asked for advise
had emailed me privately before all this in response to my post for
those that are heading the same way as i am. I was trying to give a man
a part of my experience, not challenge anyone.

You could have left it at that. I, for one, felt that your initial response
had validity. You wrote from obvious experience.


The first response I
received was from OZ saying I was an idiot for wanting a gun on board.

So what! You don't even know who Oz is! What does it matter if he
thinks that you are an idiot?

I didn't think that you were stupid after your first response. However, I
must admit that Oz spotted something in your post that had eluded me.



That is why I gave the reasons he is wrong. I never brought anything on.
The complete and total losers here that have never done anything can't
stand that someone else might accomplish some fun goals. If there are
some that have done something in this group, I would have expected them
to have had the since to not egg the others on.

Why?


My qualifying statements
did not, by the way, include yacht club membership as a measurement of
success as Mooron's did. I don't know why he included that. It sounded
to me as if he might have done a little sailing and that was good
enough. I didn't list everything I did. I just listed excerpts. I have
transited the Panama canal 3 times. I only had mentioned once with my
own boat, as an example of understatement. There is far more that was
understated.

Please try to understand that you *cannot* impress people by saying "I am
better than you because ......".



Some are and some are not - though all seem to become that from time to
time. I came here for a reality room and found jokers that wanted to get
the new guy. I could care less about their pecking order. i was here for
serious reasons and wanted to find cruising buddies.

Hmmmm. It looks like you came here to tell a bunch of people how good you
were.
You've told us that you are a better sailor, a better buisnessman, a better
musician, and that you are wealthier than us.

You are wrong on all counts.


Regards


Donal
