Okay I hate to get all preechy but when did it become okay to talk to
people
like this just because its on the internet.

The way I see it there are two possibilites to this whole Ellen is Neal
thing.

Not really. There's only one possibility.


1) Ellen is in fact Neal. If that's true then who cares. This is not an

No one. Especially you!

internet dating forum. This is a sailing forum. Sailing is suppossed to
be.

It's not??? Damn it. All those years wasted.

If "Neal" thinks it is fun to write his name as Ellen then Why should
care.

We don't, but you do....

On top of that, "Neal" is posting links with pictures of a hot girl saying
it's him. If that's the case then I really don't care if it is a guy
posting
those pics and post ing in a girls name. Also "Neal" (as Ellen) has been
contributing some sailing related items here..... videos, pics,
articles....
Which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for a lot of other people
around
here.

And, I was fine with that until he stopped and started again with his usual
rant.

2) Ellen is, well, Ellen. If that is the case then everyone that has
posted
anything stating to the contrary is very rude and giving her good cause to
be
upset at people posting about her. Maybe posting preemptive attacks is
not
the best way to deal with those attacks but still it is understandable.
If
she knows as little about sailing as others claim then when someone asks
for
advice hers will be in contrast to a lot of other people and her advice
wont
be taken.

Never heard of a google search? It's pretty easy to answer simple questions
via a search.


Either way this is suppossed to be fun. Why don't everyone just go hang
out
on your boat, listen to Jimmy Buffett and drink a beer next time you want
to
get all ****y at someone.

Ummm... take you're own advice?

As for Ellen, I really enjoy most of the article and videos you post links
to.
I am just getting into sailing and learning about everything to with this
stuff. The videos and articles really give some different points fo view
so
thanks. Even if you don't know everthing about sailing, at least you seem
interested in the activity. I just don't know why you worry so much about
what Tom thinks. If you think that posting a topless pic will give him a
heart attak then at least you wont have to read his posts anymore.

Neal is very conceited. He really, really cares if others recognize he's
full of sh*t.
