The bottom line is, if you are going to tangle with him, expect to get
a
black eye now and then.



And Bob, let me add to that...this whole thread exists now (not a
normal thread for poor Bart) because I posted that he had called me and
asked to meet one of my lady friends. I posted her picture. I'm glad I
didn't do it. Bart also told me a story of how he'd gotten to a late
stage in his life and still hadn't found anyone who'd have him. No
doubt Bart is frustrated. He might be a more experienced sailor than
me, but he'll never get anywhere with women if he can't learn to pick
battles he can win.
This one is lost for him. True..I know my weaknesses, but few others
here do. The best part is...TWO of "you" met me in person and basically
play the part of a mole for me. Who could it be? Not EVER who you'd
think! These folks can't win because they imagine they're clever, have
me outgunned and even think they KNOW me! It's an amazing joke for the
three of us...and to a few like Mooron who can see the game for what it
is. The rest just spin at the end of my line daily.
And thus it shall always be...until I tire of it.
