And I don't particularly care for criticism by newbies/lurkers using made up

personal attacks, wildly erroneous statements and thread drift Jax is second
only to a certain mailman from Florida. He deserves what he gets.

Furthermore, if you do not feel that a clear understanding of the loads on
anchor rodes, lifelines and standing rigging don't have anything to do with
cruising you are in the wrong news group.

I participate in forums where the average age is older than me, like
this one. I also participate in forums entirely unrelated to sailing
with people in their very early twenties. So the Internet slang I will
attribute to you now, Glenn, may be unfamiliar to you, but trust me on
this, you just "pwned" that "n00b". Ask your kids.G

Older sailors might put it: 4 out of 4 real sailors find heavy onshore
swells like Neal and JAX a real pain in the snubber.
