Well, I'm shocked! Is this the *real* Nav?

Madam Vinyl, as with most cases of mental illness in families,
the long-time members of this newsgroup skirt the issue. They're
trying to be kind, but it's hindering the rehabilitation process,
not helping. For the harsh reality is that Nav has been but a
shadow of himself since his true protagonist, Capt Neal, cast his
hat in the ring and sailed away. We've all watched, sadly, as
Nav has flailed about, desperately searching for an opponent
worthy of his skills, and in the end been reduced to arguing
engineering inconsequentialities with DOug King. That once
splendid, even if misguided, intellect with its amazing cosmic
grasp has atrophied away, its dissolution mirrored by the steady
truncation and increasing meaningless of his tag. Nowhere is his
decay, his failure to cope with reality, more apparent than in
his newfound preference for sailing rather than continuing the
productive life as a 24-hour watcher and contributor to this
newsgroup. This is escapism of the highest order. Nav needs
help, but we are all powerless to offer any, until he himself
realises and asks for it.

I may have to submit to your way of thinking...

You're doomed......
