Heh Peter... it sounds like you are enjoying life and that's what it's all
about. I tried the intellectual browbeat to get these vermin cross posters
off our group... but now I'm thinking it's time for some of their own
medicine. The folks here know how to kill file and since the intruders just
won't go away... I've decided I'll invade them. It's been a slice and they
seem to be way out of their league in wit or rhetoric...

I don't have long since it will be time to get sailing again soon. I did a
night sail on Saturday. What a great time that was. Singlehanded. I'll be
off to Mahone Bay for the Wooden Boat Festival sometime before Wednesday.
