Actually, I do understand, since you said you have an above average
IQ. Above average = 101. The 98% is meaningless, as an ASA or
other test has NO MEANING. What counts is sailing ability. If I
had been your instructor, I would have told you to pick another
hobby.

It sounds like you don't know anything about IQ tests. 101 is "above
average," 98 means nothing, being reasonably satisfied is a euphemism
for not finding an excuse to fire you, it is for sure my opinion, I
don't
speak for others, and you do have a problem MacBoy.


As usual, you don't get it, do you John? The score of 98 was the score
on the ASA basic sailing course, not an IQ test. It was 98 percent, or
128 questions correct out of 130. - - As a suggestion, John, you
probably ought to slow down and read the notes somewhat more carefully
before you spout off. It might help you to avoid making a fool of
yourself, as you just did, quite so frequently.

Wrong again, Johnny. The ASA course included two days of sailing, in
which our instructor tested us on sailing on all points of sail,
performing man-overboard-recoveries, docking, following the channels,
reading the markers, observing right-of-way rules with respect to other
boats of all kinds, knot tying, etc. While you may say that my score of
98 has no meaning, the test was very comprehensive. The results
indicate that I'm not a total novice, or a dumb-ass as you have
previously stated. If I were a total dumb-ass, I couldn't have aced the
test.

Jim

Wow. Two WHOLE DAYS! Yes folks, this is some expert!

You didn't ace the test. You missed 2% (assuming we believe
you, which we don't).

BFD. I've still been sailing longer even if I believed the 25 years.
