Yeah, but it's fun to talk about it. Sailors are an open-/closed-minded
group with strong opinions, good ideas, and are will/unwilling to listen to
others. Most of the people who frequent this group are essentially decent
people and extremely helpful, while being occasionally rude and annoying.
You need a thick skin to hang out here.

Your the second or third person who said that. I stand corrected. From
what I
read of his recent posts there wasn't much about sailing. I'd apologize to
him but
he's not reading my posts anymore so his loss.

Politics is a waste to talk about. You can't change people's mind
about politics.
