Brilliant!!! That's an excellent beginner's attempt at wit.
I'm
really
impressed.
I'm trying to alter my IQ so I can understand what you type.
Unfortunately I doubt I can ever aspire to true success. However,
the
rum does help.
Well, well, well.................
You're actually making some progress!
In no time at all you will realise that my opinion is utterly
irrelevant.
I realised that your opinion was utterly irrelevant a long time ago.
Ah, there you go making unwarranted assumptions again. Never mind,
perhaps you'll learn better one day.
You really need to learn that my opinion is irrelevant.
I'm not making any assumptions at all. I have zero influence over your
career, life, or financial well being. Therefore my opinions cannot
have
any effect on you.
When you get to grips with the fact that I am nothing more than "words"
on
Usenet, you will understand that my opinion is utterly worthless.
Likewise, your opinion is worthless.
Yep, you just re-made the same unwarranted assumption.
So what? "Unwarranted" does not equal "Incorrect".
You sound like you are trying to disagree with me. However, you either
lacked the clarity, or the backbone, to specify the exact nature of your
disagreement.
Which assumption are you complaining about?
You're projecting your feelings, Donal. What makes you think I'm
complaining?
Are you upset about the fact that your opinion is irrelevent to me, or that
my opinion should be irrelevant to you?
What makes you think I'm upset?
Perhaps you could answer this post without resorting to the ad-hominems that
have characterised your efforts to date.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Donal, *you* called *me* an idiot, remember? Now
you're complaining? Get over it. Now, since you think so little of my
intelligence, why do you get so splenetic about posts that you claimed
were poor efforts at humour? The 2nd quote you've shown above might
merely by my acknowledgement of your superior IQ, might it not? Why
didn't you just take it as a compliment to your superior intelligence?
Problem you have now is you're stuck on a hook and can't see a graceful
way off. Let me help. I've been playing on Usenet for over 10 years and
nobody's opinion of anything I write, or their own opinion of their own
writings, has any relevance or force outside its own internal logic. In
other words, there's nothing for me to get over WRT your writings, as
they already rate as a sometimes amusing, mostly irrelevant, bit
pattern on the 'net.
Your unwarranted, and false, assumption was in thinking differently. I,
OTOH, have no such delusions of relevance. You could be someone's
sockpuppet, as could I. I really don't care. A friend of mine once
wrote a Perl script that mimicked an annoying poster on another n/g.
I'm not at all upset, I'm amused, but I've played this game many times
on another n/g and it's a bit old. Since you seem to be getting upset,
I'll stop playing Eliza games with you.
Let's get back to sailing. I know it's a crap climate and heading into
winter, but surely you can at least pretend to go sailing on your Bendy
(or polishing its fibreglass); far more productive than wasting time &
emotional energy here. I've just come back from a day looking at OPB's
on Pit****er, drinking beer & wine at the Newport Arms in the company
of 4 women and eating a seafood lunch. A superb Sydney day, high 20's,
low humidity, enough breeze to make watching the sailors on the water
enjoyable and wishing I was out there. In 2 days I'll be in Fremantle
where the weather is equally good tho a bit hotter, and in a week's
time I'll be sailing south - 73 days at sea. By the time I get back
it'll be autumn, but I'll splash the daysailer ASAP. Figuring out just
how little water I really need to sail off a lee shore and not get
stuck on a sandbank is a lot more fun, even when I fail. The stbd tack
is not a good idea, for example...... last time I did that on a falling
tide I was very grateful for a centreboard and a set of paddles. How to
do better in a boat that sails in 6" of water but won't go to windward
in less than 12", without paddling or using an engine??????
