This group consists mostly of a handful of children who
have nothing better to do than attempt to make themselves
the center of attention. It's become a prime example of
OADD (Online Attention Deficit Disorder)
Listen, young man. I've been on this group since it was created by
me and some friends of mine, all sailors and fine computer
craftsmen. And all what is left is a bunch of incomptent
crack pilots who have way too much time on their hand.
Biggest offenders are Moroon, Donal, Bobsprit, Pony Express,
LOCO, Binary Bill, Scott Vernon, and Cappys Master.

This used to be a decent group years ago before it was
invaded by a bunch of Capt.NealŪ wannabes who never
had any chance in the world of doing even a tenth
as good a job as the retired Capt.NealŪ did keeping
the discussion here related to sailing topics.
You tell me !!
Most of the people here lately are losers and flakes.
And why should you make an exception?
They are the same type of children one sees on any
playground doing the most stupid and absurd things
and yelling, "Lookit me, lookit me!" Too stupid to know
the difference between accomplishment and foolish
noise.
Seems you are doing the very likely thing!
A better group to subscribe to if you want sailing discussion
is uk.rec.sailing. The people over there at least act like
grown-ups.
A don't want to have zilch to do with brits !!!!
In the meanwhile check out the good Capt. NealŪ website at
http://www.homestead.com/captneal/index.html he has lots
of sailing topics on his Novice Lessons.
If he sails the same way he makes webpages, Good Lord, I'd never
want to cross the cape of Good Hope with him.
