Are you sure that's updated? It's not much of an advance on a
couple of years ago (nor is rec.boats.cruising, though the
relativities are about the same). Perhaps we plateaued with the
resignation of CN? Must try harder I s'pose....

You're welcome.

Yeah, I guess you help. You had "Yoda" at the time and your major goal
was to cause grief to that MAC owner, what was his name? Not Scott.
Scotty has thicker skin.

There were a lot of old timers that were driven off, even me for awhile,
but I crawled back like a worm.

Ed Gordon.
But Scotty is as good a target. He bites on any bait! He's dumber than Ganzy,
though he does display a certain wit, recently smothered by his truly angry
posts.
I prefer the lighthearted folk like Donal, Jeff, Mooron, Ozzy. They can take it
and dish it out as well as anyone. Poor Scotty seems ready to pop at times.
Very sad.

RB

Ed Gordon, that's right. Kind of miss him but I've never been sure he
didn't come back as Gilly? They both hail from the same state and all?

OT

Ed Gordon.

eeewwwwww.....I'd keep Horvath just so Ed Gordon wouldn't reappear.

Thom, you are one of better people in the group as you dispense actual sailing
content from time to time, even in the midst of trolls. Doug, Jeff, neal and
even Steve along with a few others have the same quality and it helps make the
group worthwhile.
The total dead weight he Scotty, Ganzy, Skitchy, Binary Bill. These guys
rarely start a worthwhile thread and are just leeches sucking off everyone
else.

Tad,

For good or for bad this group owes a
"thank you" to Neal Warren. I remember when he came aboard and forced
the change.

He gave us hell for not having a since of humor. He made us understand
the joy of an unmoderated group. He and he alone taught us (ME) to not
take myself to serious.
THANK YOU NEAL, you have made this group FUN. Now don't let this go
to your pin head. You started but a damn good supporting cast helped
you. Still does!
AND: "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"

Ole Thom

THANK YOU NEAL...
AND: "I'LL DRINK TO THAT!"

You'd better stop drinking pretty quick,now, THom. You're beginning to lose perspective.
