I have a set of rules I call the SteveRegs.

1. If you are a sailboarder with more balls than brains, I'm not
moving for you because the lead in my keel weighs more than your car.

2. If you are a tug pushing four barges up or down the river, I'm
going to get out of your way because . . . well because you'd be a
moron not to.

3. If you are a powerboat, sod off.

4. If you are another sailboat, we'll look at each other for awhile,
try to figure out is we're going to hit each other or not (CBDR is
your friend), and make the appropriate adjustments. Then (or perhaps
during) we will check out any babealishous babes on the foredeck.

I'd say that about covers it.
