I like to discuss sailing and related technical issues.

but, doguies, you don't know anything but what you read on a usenet ng, and you
refuse to learn. And to make matters worse, you are a sophist.

I don't like
double talk,

yeah, you like straight-shooting bull****.

and I don't like pretenders.

dude, check the mirror and then try to say that with a straight face.

Instead of declaring how stupid other people are,

a lot of people, such as yourself, are purposely stupid. you work at it and
should be rewarded for your efforts.

a clear explanation of
things that you do understand will go a long way to improve your
credibility.

six times? eight times? 28 times? how many times, dougies, before the clear
explanation sinks into your thick skull?
