Katy,
He complains about everything. He tolerates almost nothing. It's the
way he is, he can't help it. He accuses Bush of thousands of murders
and accuses me of constantly nym shifting and disrupting the entire
newsgroup (he speaks for everyone). You can't deal or reason with
something like that. The best is to be polite or just ignore it.
My socks are transparent and easy to trace. I change them often so my
feet don't stink. I only use 3-4 names that everyone knows. If he
feels so strongly he can report me to my ISP with all the evidence
and get me kicked off.
I am curious as to why he didn't say a word or do anything when
someone came in here under multiple identities and posted members
names, addresses, phone numbers, places of employment, pictures of
their wives and the like with obviously malicious intent.
He could killfile by ISP address if it is really an annoyance. But it
appears that he doesn't killfile anyone. What would be left to
complain about if he did? I am providing a valuable service by givng
him something that is not threatening in any way to complain about.
So let him complain, it's want he wants even if it is annoying,
constant and disruptive to the group.
I am curious as to what names you post under. I am curious as to who
Popeye, Maynard G. Krebs, and various others are. But not curious
enough to track it down.

Gilligan, Lloyd Bonifide, Babs Johnson and Bob Crantz.
Lloyd is a Korean War veteran, Babs is a blonde bombshell (both of
these characters are stolen from radio/cinema) and Bob Crantz is a
religious zealot but not homosexual. Gilligan, also a tv character
stumbles through life tripping over power cords, sticking his fingers
in the wrong places, getting shipwrecked multiple times, and has the
lovely support of MaryAnn who is always baking him a coconut cream pie.
The whole point is the corny, clumsy use of sock puppets in a self
slapsticking sort of way. There are rarely a few others just check the
headers, they are all the same. I am not Popeye, Maynard G. Krebs, or
any of the others. The most fun I have is with Bobsprit, he is the
master troller. He really understands character flaws and can work them
like no other. He's like a slimy, twisty eel - once you think you've
got him he just slips out of it. He'll throw up roadblocks, red
herrings and use every trick in the book, in fact he wrote the book.
He never acknowledges defeat. What a great troller he is but will never
measure up to Capt. Neal.
I've followed this group for years. In the beginning Capt. Neal ruled.
He owned the newsgroup. Then along came Bobsprit, (AKA: Capt.Rob,
Booby, bobsh*t, and too many to remember them all).
Capt. Neal sailed circles around Booby, pounding with 42 inch guns.
Booby was a mail cutter, constantly dismasted and sunk. I watched Booby
move up with bigger and better boats until his smashers sent Capt Neal
reeling. Then Neal did a strange, even for him, thing. He began
courting Booby. I suffered through their short love affair and breakup.
Batman could not get Robin to play. Booby had rendered Capt Neal, "a
hors de combat." A sad passing. indeed.
It's funny how different people see things in a different light...I don't
see either of those two as having "owned" anything at asa except for a
lot of hot air. The way they dispersed it was different...Neal's was the
usual gastronomic type while Bob's is more helium. The true owner of this
hallowed ground (or maybe I should say water, since it is a sailing
group) has been Gilly and his socks....he weaves back and forth between
the threads and is often the cohesive glue that binds things together.
He rarely rips things apart.As far as sailing content go, the leaders
here have been many: DSK ( he sails, people...get over it), the now gone
MC (the Navigator), Bart, and a few others. Neither Bob or Neal is
qualified to lead this group. Neither has the collective knowledge or an
engaging enough personality to weather the sands of time. Proof of this?
Neal has degenerated into a female sock. Bob has left for family life
(but more likely needed the rest to come up with more insanity).
Hey.. I own this group. I bought it from Paul R. Fortin.
Well, then..why the heck ahven't you re-written those stupid FAQ's yet?
I'm unreliable.
