Default Lessons of a tragedy....Roller furlers suck

Quite frankly, you're just being a belligerent dumb-ass here.

Hi there, Doug. Just thought I'd remind you when you engage in name

Not at all... did I say I *never* do? Just rarely, and only when
justified.

To blame this accident on the roller furler is just plain stupid. To use
this incident as "proof" that roller furlers are no good, and insist on
that proof loudly, is going a few step further.... what would you call
that?


You're absolutely right, of course. I couldn't agree more. My point is:
if you were discussing this with Joe over a beer and chips/salsa, would you
have referred to him as a "belligerent dumb-ass" to his face? The
impersonal nature of Usenet seems to bring out the worst sort of
belligerence in us all, I think.
