Bob, you now have to somehow extricate yourself from Neal's
rear end.

A most insightful and brilliant post. It is clear now why
you are such an accomplished sailor - you think like one.

Here's the real deal on who's got a pair in the group...

Scotty...while tough at times, he's easily trolled and hurt. Has
actually
threatened violence (A knuckle sandwich-Unless he meant pork). Needs
support
from others, but will take on a battle alone at times. Manly rating: 6.2
knots
Loco....Desperate troller who may not sail and may be gay or incapable
of
finding women. Requires other posts and trolls to exist. Kisses up
constantly
and loves to play gang-up. His main defense/offence weapon is typing
"Lol."
Manly rating: 4.4 knots
Ganzy....While his sexual orientation is nearly certain now, Ganzy is
one of
the few members to report other members. While he's shown strength
elsewhere,
this "tell mommy" attitude sets him lowest among the ladies. Manly
rating: 3.8
knots.
Stevey....Practically a clone of Loco, but shows more focus and resolve
to
discuss actual sailing. Frustrated sex life is clear problem. He also
likes to
play gang up and doesn't understand why he still loses every time. Manly
rating: 5.5 knots.
Skitchy....Almost a woman. May not even own a boat and possibly gay.
Requires
100% support from other members in his battles. Manly rating: 3.5 knots.
Mooron: Sails a real boat and posts pics. Invulnerable to most trolls
and
drinking haze makes alliances short lived. He's taken on the "nice guys"
of the
group without hesitation. Manly rating: 6.2 knots.
Horvath....Actually pretty independent. Only forms alliances for brief
periods
and rarely. Not afraid to mix it up with zero support. Manly rating: 8.0
knots
Doug....Great ability to be nasty and actually give valuable sailing
info.
Bought a Hunter and admitted it. Bought a powerboat and admitted it.
Prefers
alliances. Manly rating: 7.5 Knots
Capt Neal....Needs no one. Willing to take on the whole group and enjoys
it.
Forms brief alliances. Admits to ultra cheap cruiser and defends her
with grit.
Unique ability to thrash other trollers. Manly rating: 9.5 knots
Ozzy....Looking for laughs full time and willing to battle in that
direction.
Forms alliances, but laughs all the while. Not terribly bright, but
easily
thrashes most posters without them even knowing it. Manly rating: 8.4
knots
Katy....educated and prefers to take pot shots when possible. Enjoys the
pile-on attacks where she won't be drawn into one-on-one battle.
Capable, but
generally cowardly. Manly rating: 6 knots.
MC...dispite having the "best quality boat" generally prefers alliances
and
pile ons. Recently has taken to battling previous "buddies." Less than
clever
trolls will attract him. Manly rating: 5.9 knots
BobSprit....Needs no one. Only forms brief alliances when it suits him.
The
only member to dare to post sailing pics on a regular basis and the only
member
who clearly has women on board, dispite being married. Manly rating: 9.7
knots
Tadpole: Clever and wry, rarely plays pile on and prefers quiet
kills...softly.
Sails a unique boat. Willing to expose his limited artistic talents for
all.
Manly rating: 9.0 knots
Binary Bill....Desperately requires support from other members, but will
go at
it one-on-one at times. Sails a baby-boat and the worst of her series,
but
defends her. Easily hurt and trolled. Sails with men or manly women.
Manly
rating: 4.9 knots.
Old Thom...in many respects a lot like Doug. Thick skinned and aged, he
practically sails a powerboat. Forms brief alliances, but generally
avoids big
open conflict with most members. Takes cheap shots and then runs. Manly
rating:
5.9 knots
Gilligan....Needs no one. Follows the road paved by Neal, but still
deserving
of a high rating. Manly Rating: 8.5 knots.

And so... real men of Alt.sailing.asa are Bobsprit, Neal, Mooron, Ozzy,
taddy,
Gilligan, Horvath, Doug....

Most of the rest of you don't sail with women because you ARE women!
Except
Katy!

Bwahahahahhaha!
