I got back to the reading usenet this morning. This group (a.s.asa) had
multiple hundreds of messages. A time ago it had some interesting postings.

There was a posting or two that were actually of interest to sailors. I
not longer think it is a worth while effort to seek them out.

This why I abandon the @ddress of 12 years.

I may miss some of you, but the rest are the same as the "unbias" press.
(I'm still surprised there has not been a demand for equal time to the
announcement of the passing of the president.)
