steve dan, you missed the irony of the statement. chickensquat guys blame "the
wife" for the fear, never taking responsibility for themself. that is where
you get all that convoluted b/s about how a catamaran is "unconditionally
stable".

by all means, if something frightens you don't do it. I have purposely turned
airplanes upside down in flight, but damned straight don't like to be on a
ladder 2-1/2 stories up in the air. I stay off ladders that high, and never
once blamed "the wife" for it.
