I have little experience sailing other than a few times piloting a
dinghy many decades ago. I'm 56, interested enough in learning to
sail "for real" that I've begun following this newsgroup as well as
others. But one thing puzzles me. Despite the name "sailing" in the
newsgroup title I find that I recognize very little in the titles of
the various postings. Clearly the term "sailing" must mean far more
than I had supposed. I confess that I don't bother to read most of
the aforementioned postings, so perhaps I am missing a greater
message. What, for all love, is the idea? No, on second thought,
don't bother to answer. It is merely an observation.
