Default Master and Commander --the movie

I don't mind a few "private" comments - In fact I took the opportunity to find
out where Sydney Harbor is. And, as a former Paceship owner (Eastwind), I was
curious about the Bluejacket.

However, I think its very rude to have a 14 line signature, when the netiquette
standard is 3. Is that why you're called "The Windman"?

BTW, I think the new Hornblower movies are pretty good. And while the "Master
and ..." movie lacks a plot, this is not the worst thing for an action movie.
Frankly, I thought the POB books lacked action and never finished the series -
the movie was much more enjoyable.

| You referred to spin-offs. To what do you refer? Titles please, or
