Did you just state you are nothing without your audience or that your
audience is nothing without you? .... I'm so confused! :-)

At any rate I'm certainly delighted that both you and Capt. Neal post here.
I also really appreciate the sock puppets. You are absolutly correct in your
assumptions.... I know I certainly feel much better after venting a spleen
with a full body check to some unsuspecting rube or regular. I also feel
good when I can help someone out on sailing related issue. Let's face it
there is a lot of talented people and a vast knowledge base to tap here.

I used to assume that people tuned into this station to try to learn
something about sailing and ended up watching the fights.... I know now
it's mostly the other way around.

ASA.... and Oh what night it is, on with the show this is it!

the
