Honestly, Bertie. Can't you do better? We heard so much
about
your
skills, and yet you appear to be completely useless.

Yes, it would appear that I'm completely useless.

Are you trying to bore us into ignoring you?

He managed that last time. One of the few entries in my
killfile
for
just that reason. Why waste time reading lame one-liners?

Ah, the Famous "Plonk-Query" Response".

Ralphie, endless one-liners on the lines of "stupid c***" are
obviously acceptable in ADA. This is understandable, given the
samples
of x-posts we've seen here that illuminate (using the term in its
most
generous sense) what passes for intellect and repartee there. One
must
make allowances for people who can't score more than 80 in an
online
IQ test.

You guys are happy debating with your intellectual equals (after
all,
zero equals zero) in your little dried-up pond on Usenet. That's
fine.
ASA has higher standards of wit, repartee, spelling and grammar.
If
you want to be taken seriously around here, lift your game!

Otherwise, a bit of Usenet evolution - you end up in the killfile
along with the rest of the pond scum of the gene pool, alongside
Bertie, Jax and Bob****.

Am I the 1 that responds in the manner described? Capt Mooron issued
the
invitation to this party. IRC there was nothing in the RSVP
regarding
standards of wit, repartee, spelling, grammar, Etc., other than
implied
by
an initial response between Capt Mooron regarding "Turning up the
heat
in
the kitchen", in response to;"If you can't stand the heat, don't get
in
the
kitchen", plus the penchant for "Top Posting" by the sailing group.

When I accepted the "Invitation", it was my intention to "See it
Through"
irrespective of how hot it got.

Capt Mooron has chosen to withdraw from the kitchen, the Flying
Tadpole
has
excused himself to get some "Band-Aids" to deal with his wounds. The
departure of these 2 has reduced the heat level to only that of
spelling/grammar/punctuation Lames from you

It is a sad state of affairs to be invited to a party thrown by
another
group, which then quit early.

Whether you were invited to the party or crashed it is irrelevant.
If
you
choose not to stay, leave quietly so as not to make a scene/fool of
yourself
or embarrass your group.

Why Ralphie! Do you always take credit for any prick which might
bleed a little?

It is not uncommon for "Mortal Wounds" to bleed less than a "Prick from
a
Briar".

Considering the "warnings &/or volumous declarations" from Capt Mooron,
at
the begining of this party, regarding the skills/capabilities of your
group.
Your query above is more indicative of the level of the skills &/or
capabilities encountered once the engagement was joined IMHO.

Prehaps he quickly realized the actual skills/capabilities level of your
group as compared to ADA. Could this realization be why he so graciously
withdrew, leaveing the rest of you to your fate.

If I as/were a Tadpole, flying or otherwise, being a ~ semi-jellied
creature, were invited to a party by a cohort/fellow traveler. Then
abondended to be boiled/dehydrated/roasted/burned to a crisp as the
heat
rose above the level I could comfortably tolerate, much less exist. I
would
be upset. Then again prehaps Tadpoles, especially "Flying Tadpoles" do
not
have the cognitave capacity/abilities to recognize when they are
beeing/have
been "Set Up".

The good Capt Mooron posted several times regading having no fellow
associates or interest in having any, plus disdain for assorted
things/activities. Would the Good Capt Mooron now be sitting safely on
the
side Laughing/Snikering as the Heat increases?

"Why, this is hell, nor am I ever out of it"

Each to his own.

As an on topic aside, did you see/hear/read about the "Marina Fire" at/near
Orlando, Fl, reported to have destroyed 20+ house boats & cruisers plus
damageing many more.

Very few local FD's are equiped to deal with Marina fires. Several FD's in
Ga. that have relatively large lakes with a number of Marinas, to say
nothing of Lake Front Homes have gone to useing 20+' bass boats with pumps
mounted to draft from a center well. These boats are equiped with 2 small
bow mounted monitors capable of delivering 100 gpm each. They are also are
equiped with 500' of 1.75" hose with a constant flow nozzle. Typical crew is
3.

Depending on the size of the lake, number of Marinas, & number of lake side
houses some FD's have as many as 10 of these boats capable of responding
24/7/365.
