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?

The final paragraph of your post. Read it when you're sober and you should
see that it is a lame attempt to get the conversation back to sailing
matters.


Perhaps you could answer this post without resorting to the ad-hominems
that
have characterised your efforts to date.
Quote: "You could be like me, if you had a lobotomy! Good luck!"
Quote: "I'm trying to alter my IQ so I can understand what you type."

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Donal, *you* called *me* an idiot, remember?

I don't see how that changes the fact that you wrote the above statements?
The truth is that both of your statements were untrue. They were weak "Ad
Hominem" insults.

I suspect that it would be much easier to prove that you are an idiot than
to prove that I could be like you if I had a lobotomy.
Perhaps you would like to comment on this????


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?

1) My intelligence isn't superior.
2) It wasn't a compliment.



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

You're an expert, huh?

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.

Your friends are experts too, huh?



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.

I'm not getting upset. I humbly apologise for giving you the wrong
impression.



Let's get back to sailing.

Nope!



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.

*4* women?? I bet that Bob would be impressed! Were they pretty? Where
are the photos?

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??????


I made a big effort to read that last on topic paragraph. However, I nearly
dislocated my jaw during a particulary big yawn.



Regards


Donal
