I came to this site looking for help with a dream of sailing I want to thank
the ones that did !!!!!!! and to tell you that I went to boston sailing
center and learned to sail also took advanced sailing and tuseday Iam
driving down to va. and sailing my new boat back to nh. I throught when I
came to this site it was for SAILING and what did I find here ,,,,,,I'll
just have to say that it's not a sailing site at all I think most of you
should get a life and leave the site to poeple who want to sail and use it
that way and Iam sure that you all know who you are ,,,,if you guys really
knew about sailing then you all would have helped but the sinde remark and
all the talk here that has nothing to do with sailing would'nt be here so
go get a life or try sailing

jetsam on your trip up...BTW...you sound like a crybaby 11 =

Dave, this is a pretty pathetic post. You really need to learn how
to read between the lines and filter out all the bs to get to the good
stuff. It's there. I am quite appreciative of all the different opinions
represented here.

Best of luck to you.

Hey,

Yea there is a lot of crap here I wish they would find another place for all
the drivel, it's kinda like net terrorism, a few wackos ruin the ability to
have a valuable resource for sailing related topics. But you can do what I
do, killfile about 90% of the posters here and every once in a while
something useful pops up.

Anyway, I'm a member of the BSC. Glad you had a good experience there. Did
you consider posting a note there, either on their new members only
(thankfully) news threads which applies to students as well, or on the
riverboat? Seems to be there are always people around there, some currently
under-employed or retired or with flexible schedules looking for an
adventure at sea. You might get some experienced help in return for beer or
cover expenses. Certainly less then shipping the boat, and possible from
someone you could learn a lot from.

I do hope you're not trying this by yourself, not a great idea, especially
if you're in a hurry.

Regards,

Inten Ost

How choice....

You've never posted here and now cry a river about content.
Isn't it always the way... the biggest whiners offer the least proactive
input.

You are absolutely right to be upset!

Here we are, people from around the world, getting paid good money to
provide *you* with a valuable sailing resource. What do we do? Yeah,
you're right - we treat the place like an "alt" newsgroup!


Here is your plan of action:-
1: Get a good lawyer.
2: Sue each and every one of us.
3: Make us give your money back
4: Demand suitable damages for the time that you have wasted.

Alternatively, you could simply go to a local bar and tell the regular
customers that their conversation bores you.

Or try to drown out our conversation like the Bunyip and Ross type losers.

What a bunch of pathetic people there are out there. Must be due to a
lack of education and intelligence. I wonder, why were their idiot
parents allowed to breed and why didn't their doctor do the decent thing
at their birth?

Thanks Dr. Mengele.

Look the guy said, and I agreed, that there's a lot of off topic stuff going on here. I didn't think I made a big deal of it, just agreed with the guy, and expressed my own frustration, since I came here hoping to participate in some discussions that would enhance my sailing skills, offer advice to others, especially those interested in sailing in Boston or the San Juans both of which I'm very familiar with, and chat with others who, like me, are preparing to take the written for the 6-pack exam.

Turns out this is the wrong place.

alt.sailing is much more focused on sailing, but kinda light on activity. I'll check out sailnet although I prefer usenet, because it's easier to read offline. If anyone has any suggested places to go for what I am looking for, I thank you in advance.

If you prefer to spew hateful comments, that is your right. And the bull**** about suing the group, what kind of crazy comment is that? I can waste my own time without blaming it on anyone else. I choose to waste less of it then others, and more then some. It's my choice and yours as well.

Although I am surprised that the American Sailing Association, as the sponsor of this news group, doesn't take a more active role in facilitating it's intended use, which is, as they say on their website "Exchange information on a wide variety of sailing topics by visiting our Usenet Newsgroup. alt.sailing.asa" It seems like it has been hijacked for other purposes, and the cross-posting is just awful.
