Dear Group,

Belay, you lubbers. I warned you that I would come back if I read too many
disparaging remarks. I have popped in, from time to time, to read your
pathetic threads, which contained little of value to anyone with a level of
intelligence anywhere above a mooron. Your pathetic attempts at revising
history, however, (as perpetuated by "The Internet Opera or The Cedar
Bucket"), demands my return.

In order to show my abundant good will and demonstrate magnanimity in spite
of your "May Mutiny," of 2001, I hereby pardon all but the ringleaders.
They know who they are. They will be flogged unmercilessly, keelhauled, and
then flogged 'round the fleet. Those innocents who fell in with bad company
will be disciplined with love and a rope's end. Let it not be said that
Capt. Neal is without compassion.

It is apparent to even the most casual observer, that the group has
deteriorated into a mad rabble, playing "Popeye & Pluto." You may not
appreciate my future attempts to educate you, but I must set this group
straight. You are childish whiners and losers. You have nothing original or
constructive to post. You simply repeat the same inane drivel month after
month,year after year. Your blather wore me out and left me derelict on the
beach. So, instead of wasting my time here, where the majority consists of
frightened,little wannabes with no understanding of a real sailors life, I
have been sailing. Cruising to be exact. I have logged more miles in the
past two years than all of you wannabes have logged in your entire petty
lives.

Having washed my mind, body, and spirit in the ocean' white foam, I am
renewed and refreshed. Once again will I use my extraordinary, manly powers
to whip this despicable group into shape.

You will heed your Capitan. All sails will be bent on properly and all
lines will be flemished down. Casks will be stored bung up! Ignore your
Capitan at your peril.








Respectfully,
Capt. Neal
