I've never comsidered arrogance as a character flaw and insolance
predisposes that ranking is in question. :-)

One of my residency preceptors once told me: "It's okay to be arrogant, but
only if you can back it up with intelligence, knowledge, abilities and
reputation." It's a character flaw if you can't support it in such a
manner, IMO.

Unfortunate as it may be, threads just don't seem to propagate on polite
humility.

The best way to kill this group is a continuous stream of polite sailing
discussions.

Oh, **** you. (I'll not be accused of tanking this NG) g

I've considered this group one of the best comedy venues online. I was
often rendered to tears of laughter when Ganz was losing it! One of my
favourites is when some poor soul inadvertently wanders in and posts a
diatribe prior to reading the group thoroughly.

There is another, but it may not interest you: rec.motorcycles.harley In
its own way it's a lot more fun than ASA.


Nonetheless... when it comes to sailing knowledge.... this is one of the
best spots for information... if you "pose your question in the form of an
answer"!

Are you Alex Trabek?
