.ASA is dead
 
With the valiant exceptions of a few, notably Bart Senior, Thom and Katy
(and a few others so don't feel slighted I just picked on those of us who
have been around the longest) the majority of .asa has denigrated into a
pale and for the most part useless comparison of it's glory days. The
sailing content is vastly overshadowed by insipid political commentary which
in itself is of no merit. Bart does a good job of holding his finger in
the dike but I fear the dike has ceased to exist around his finger.
Especially when any thread is routinely hijacked by the fringe loonies who
vie for the unattainable goal 'group leadership?' It takes more than
quantity to be a leader especially in a free society (does the word
unmoderated ring a bell?) For the majority of the spam propaganda posts
it's just Neal wannabes. He knew when to push a button or ring chimes or
zing in a barbed conversation starting content but the majority of it was
always about sailing. And you ain't Neal. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Which "glory days" were those?

... The

Actually there is more sailing content in this discussion group than
most others I've sampled.

.... Bart does a good job of holding his finger in
the dike


Not what I'd call a good choice of words there.


....It takes more than

Yes, it does.

Which ones were those? The ones where he bragged about imaginary
voyages, pontificated on Jaxxian laws of physics applied to sailing, or
the ones where he displayed total ignorance about common sailing
equipment & it's employment (for example, jib sheets).



... And you ain't Neal.


Thank goodness.

Thom Stewart September 7th 04 06:35 PM

Doug,

The Crapton (Neal) was all those thing you've said BUT by God you
remembered them.

The group is pretty much a creation of his and without him we' re
struggling for a personality.

Michael seem to like Bart's way, I've kind of been following your lead.
Nutsy gets to much, "I am" into his style. We are in a state of change
right now. I'm hoping that after the Nov elections we will settle down
and re-develop a Style.

I have great faith in the un-monitored formate and a loose leadership,
with a sense of humor is needed.

Let's face it, we are a group of sailors in a Bull Session as in a Bar.
What we need is a Bartender as a leader

??? I remember the Mickey Mouse theme song too, but I wish I didn't.
There are lots of better things to expend brain cells on.

???

I beg to differ. This newsgroup was around before the Crapton found it,
and it was much the same as it is now... sailing discussion on a wide
range of topics and lots of banter & blather.



Michael seem to like Bart's way, I've kind of been following your lead.

I hope that after the November elections, whoever wins, the divisive
spirit will subside. I don't call other people traitors and do not
appreciate being called on myself.

It looks to me like some people mistake the insults & propaganda for the
issues, and for them, it will never subside. But maybe, they'll leave
the rest of us alone.



I have great faith in the un-monitored formate and a loose leadership,
with a sense of humor is needed.


Agreed.

I dunno, this group is my favorite example of positivistic anarchy. OTOH
one of the things that keep it that way is that nobody here can do
anybody else any real harm, so those with malevolent intent can only
seethe & stew.

It would be nice to have Tadpole back more often, but OTOH maybe you
should appreciate Scout & Wally, both relative newcomers with something
to contribute... sense of humor too.

My advice is to ignore Boobsie more, and start a few sailing threads of
your own. That discussion of keels you got going some time ago was
great... encore!

ASA may be dead, but Gilligan's not!

I've been exceptionally busy for almost the last two years, but for you

dear
Katy, I'll return with all the monkeys too. I miss all my ASA friends

and
fell out of touch with a few. This week I'm off to exude my manliness by
hunting North American big game with archery equipment at extreme

altitudes!
In the fresh snow! Manly!! After that I'll take a rest by climbing some
large peak.

I've even been out sailing! Unbelievable - especially considering the
drought and my sailing abilities!

So fret not Katy, Gilligan's here and I'm wearing styrofoam shoes. Get

the
Crisco ready!

Gilligan

Doug,

The Crapton (Neal) was all those thing you've said BUT by God you
remembered them.

The group is pretty much a creation of his and without him we' re
struggling for a personality.

Michael seem to like Bart's way, I've kind of been following your

lead.
Nutsy gets to much, "I am" into his style. We are in a state of

change
right now. I'm hoping that after the Nov elections we will settle

down
and re-develop a Style.

I have great faith in the un-monitored formate and a loose

leadership,
with a sense of humor is needed.

Let's face it, we are a group of sailors in a Bull Session as in a

Bar.
What we need is a Bartender as a leader

Katysails:
Ah!
Things dead, long dead, see! how they rise again!
--Why, why keep silence all these years,
When, on this newsgroup, which he never wrote,
The heckles were your heckles?

Tadpole:
Why, then, that noble silence,--kept so long--
Broken to-day for the first time--why?


http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant...t_Cod e=b5657

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man- There are only
four things certain since Social Progress began:-
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,

And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wobbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins

When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!





"Flying Tadpole" wrote in message
...
Although the newsgroup's hanging on the ropes
Do not attempt revival with false hopes!

Flying Tadpole September 9th 04 02:39 AM

Night of the living dead?

The Revenants?

The Google Golem?

Ranks of the Undead? (The Undead Ranks? The Undead is Rank?)

ANyway, assuming this is true, how do we reconstitute? The
Navigator is but a shade ("Nav") DougKing has succumbed to
diesel fumes. Bobsprit has become a progenitor. Is it indeed
possible to forge a new theatre of the absurd from the materials
to hand? Is it, indeed, worth it?? Especially as I'm vanishing
shortly for some weeks...

Gilligan September 9th 04 02:55 AM

Check out Golem Press in Boulder, Colorado.

Of course the Theater of the Absurd can arise from the ashes. Doug is a good
man. The Navigator will gladly return if there's intellectual stimulation.
In fact, if he pokes his head in I'll post that sleeve dipole backstay
antenna design. No groundplane needed! Easy tuning! He can copy it and sell
perhaps dozens to his fellow islanders on the volcanic sheep station.
Bobsprit is a one man band. I heard he had a heart attack. Is it true? Are
his mental facilities compromised? I see Scotty got a sleek new cruiser! The
big question is - will Babs Johnson return?

Babs had better return! She could give Lady Pilot a run for Mooron's money!

And BTW, folks, I have received the secret password in my email and here do
proclaim that the Gilligan that stands before us now is the real bona fide

Nice bait, Katy! But where's Capt. Mooron's money? I thought he had it
invested in Overproof out in the chicken coop.

I've been waiting for the games, but the group seems to be focused on "other
things"...

When is the tadpole "going south" ? (loved it, Taddy)
