Sorry Jimmy, but you're never going to convince me that a MaccrapM has
any place in blue water sailing. I would also submit that you don't
have a clue about "sticking it out." I've been here practically since
the group was formed, and I'll be here long after your pathetic excuse
for a sailboat sinks beneath the ripples on your pond.



Gee Jon. - I was really impressed that you've been here practically
since the group was formed.

But then when I checked your posts to ASA on deja, the earliest one I
could find was May, 2002, when you were complaining about the fact that
you were a lousy draftsman in the back room or your house. (Of course,
maybe you had submitted earlier posts under a different name.) - In
contrast, my posts seem to begin in March, 1997, with further
participation in March of 1999 at which time I was debating whether to
get a Mac or a larger boat. (I decided to wait and continue chartering
larger boats.) Also some of my posts to rec.boats.cruising began in
1996. In other words, Jon, my participation on this and other sailing
ngs appear to have begun far earlier than yours, i.e., around 9 years
ago. Of course, it's true that I haven't spent as many hours posting
to the newsgroup over the years as you have, because I had other
responsibilities and demands on my time. Like, I had to get out of my
house and go to work.

But you probably changed your e-mail address, right Jon?
