YAWN.

How long does it take you to think up this ****tardian
drivel?

John Cairns


Nil, yer a child. How cruelly ironic, assuming the identity of
a real sailor. Do you think that circling the mooring in your
floating roach motel is the same as sailing around the world?

"That said, I'll share a funny story about him with you...
Years ago when I didn't have enough sense to stay off
alt.sailing.whatever, Neal posted
in a thread about a storm something to the effect that
"there I was,
stark naked, clinging to the mast while the winds and seas
howled around me"...the first reply was, "and then someone
called the marina manager."


Mr. Cairns,

Since ye insists upon acting like a child I can see no further
reason to abide yer childishness. I said I'll sail right by the
fishermen, lad, so I'll not be a speakin to you till such time as
ye learn some manners and speak about sailing instead of
codswollup.

Fair winds,
Capt. Josh
