Congratulations to the Dems (I aint no Dem either).
Hey DB! Please don't cross post OT nonsense here. We have enough
bozo's here to listen to, we don't need those from another group!
OK, I agree with Jeff, politics is not appropriate here. If Harry
Krause will suggest an appropriate venue I'll respond.
Actually, I don't mind a little political stuff, given the season. But
there's no need to bring in "outsiders" from the bar down the street.
Agreed. I'm not sure if artyguy (aka TheOne aka
ShhhImListeningtoReason...) followed me over from the audio newsgroups
or found this group on his own, but this is a sailor's bar, and if he's
not a sailor he should bug out. I can hold my own without him.
OTOH, since this is a sailor's bar, I have no problem with sailors
mouthing off about whatever's on their mind. If they're spouting
nonesense I might try to set them straight, or ignore them if I think
they're hopeless. Likewise, anybody is free to agree with me, disagree
with me, or ignore me.
I do draw the line at thread hijacking - if there's a sailing related
conversation going on it's rude to inject irrelevant things, especially
flamebait. Unless they're funny, of course.
BTW, I'm sure I'm not the first person to make the "neighborhood bar"
analogy, but I see nothing has really changed in the last 6 years:

P.S. Thanks for the congratulations, dbhora. I was trying to figure out
how to accept it graciously without gloating, and just couldn't manage
it. Anyway, thanks. Now there's serious work to do.
