Why not? That's what it's here for.

... Makes me feel like I'm a Bobsprit, recounting the
latest "offshore" adventure with a boatload of professional "models,"
or a Jax, dispensing "scientific" wisdom to the low-IQ proles.

IMHO most people that read more than one or two posts by those guys get
the idea that there is something wrong, and can tell the difference
between real sailing discussion and BS artistry.


... I'd
rather do this kind of thing in personal e-mail; but yours is spoofed.
So, my preference would be for you to e-mail me a real e-mail address
and I'd shoot you a missive. Alternatively, I guess I *could* just
post something in this thread; at least, it'd be about sailing, unlike
so many threads here.

You caught the group at a bad time. It's usually not this off track,
although it helps to widen the discussion subject matter from "sailing"
to "things of interest to sailors." Once people get tired of baiting
JAXAshby (and I for one have almost no interest in playing
kick-the-clown) it will get better.



In either case, it'd be next week before I'd have the time to write it
up 'cause this is a busy week at the Maier household.

S'OK, there will still be somebody here to appreciate it.
