Well, well, well.................

You're actually making some progress!

In no time at all you will realise that my opinion is utterly irrelevant.

I realised that your opinion was utterly irrelevant a long time ago.

Ah, there you go making unwarranted assumptions again. Never mind,
perhaps you'll learn better one day.

You really need to learn that my opinion is irrelevant.

I'm not making any assumptions at all. I have zero influence over your
career, life, or financial well being. Therefore my opinions cannot have
any effect on you.


When you get to grips with the fact that I am nothing more than "words" on
Usenet, you will understand that my opinion is utterly worthless.

Likewise, your opinion is worthless.

So what? "Unwarranted" does not equal "Incorrect".

You sound like you are trying to disagree with me. However, you either
lacked the clarity, or the backbone, to specify the exact nature of your
disagreement.

Which assumption are you complaining about?
Are you upset about the fact that your opinion is irrelevent to me, or that
my opinion should be irrelevant to you?

Perhaps you could answer this post without resorting to the ad-hominems that
have characterised your efforts to date.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Donal, *you* called *me* an idiot, remember? Now
you're complaining? Get over it. Now, since you think so little of my
intelligence, why do you get so splenetic about posts that you claimed
were poor efforts at humour? The 2nd quote you've shown above might
merely by my acknowledgement of your superior IQ, might it not? Why
didn't you just take it as a compliment to your superior intelligence?

Problem you have now is you're stuck on a hook and can't see a graceful
way off. Let me help. I've been playing on Usenet for over 10 years and
nobody's opinion of anything I write, or their own opinion of their own
writings, has any relevance or force outside its own internal logic. In
other words, there's nothing for me to get over WRT your writings, as
they already rate as a sometimes amusing, mostly irrelevant, bit
pattern on the 'net.

Your unwarranted, and false, assumption was in thinking differently. I,
OTOH, have no such delusions of relevance. You could be someone's
sockpuppet, as could I. I really don't care. A friend of mine once
wrote a Perl script that mimicked an annoying poster on another n/g.

I'm not at all upset, I'm amused, but I've played this game many times
on another n/g and it's a bit old. Since you seem to be getting upset,
I'll stop playing Eliza games with you.

Let's get back to sailing. I know it's a crap climate and heading into
winter, but surely you can at least pretend to go sailing on your Bendy
(or polishing its fibreglass); far more productive than wasting time &
emotional energy here. I've just come back from a day looking at OPB's
on Pit****er, drinking beer & wine at the Newport Arms in the company
of 4 women and eating a seafood lunch. A superb Sydney day, high 20's,
low humidity, enough breeze to make watching the sailors on the water
enjoyable and wishing I was out there. In 2 days I'll be in Fremantle
where the weather is equally good tho a bit hotter, and in a week's
time I'll be sailing south - 73 days at sea. By the time I get back
it'll be autumn, but I'll splash the daysailer ASAP. Figuring out just
how little water I really need to sail off a lee shore and not get
stuck on a sandbank is a lot more fun, even when I fail. The stbd tack
is not a good idea, for example...... last time I did that on a falling
tide I was very grateful for a centreboard and a set of paddles. How to
do better in a boat that sails in 6" of water but won't go to windward
in less than 12", without paddling or using an engine??????

The final paragraph of your post. Read it when you're sober and you should
see that it is a lame attempt to get the conversation back to sailing
matters.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha. Donal, *you* called *me* an idiot, remember?

I don't see how that changes the fact that you wrote the above statements?
The truth is that both of your statements were untrue. They were weak "Ad
Hominem" insults.

I suspect that it would be much easier to prove that you are an idiot than
to prove that I could be like you if I had a lobotomy.
Perhaps you would like to comment on this????

1) My intelligence isn't superior.
2) It wasn't a compliment.

I'm not getting upset. I humbly apologise for giving you the wrong
impression.

Nope!

*4* women?? I bet that Bob would be impressed! Were they pretty? Where
are the photos?

I made a big effort to read that last on topic paragraph. However, I nearly
dislocated my jaw during a particulary big yawn.

Nah, I'm an idiot, remember?

Flying out tomorrow, 3 days in Fremantle then sailing. You owe me an
email but if you've changed your addy, you'll not have got my last one.
No loss really, there wasn't much there.

Back in March. Maybe. right now I'm enjoying the aftermath of a long
and very alcoholic Xmas party, to be followed by a private XXX party
given the time I'll be away........ Donal et al is light amusement for
the idle moments is all.

Have a good winter.

Yes I do... and the road to hell is paved with good intentions. All I've
managed is the 15minute interludes on ASA ... I've been doing renovations
and looking after the folks. I arrived to about 2 dozen emails... of which
I've answered about half. A friend suggested I do like her and write one
generic letter as an update and send it to everyone.

I'm leaving for a road trip tonight and will be back next week. I have to
drive the parents to Ontario for a family function. I'm off work for a while
and don't expect to be returning till next month. I hoping for a major
snowfall so I can get the tobbaggan hills sculpted up with some ramps and
funnels through Deadman's Run. Even my 6 yr old niece is bored with the
Bunny Hill now! I'm thinking of hooking up a spare 3/4hp AC motor to some
gears and a cable to make a cable drag up the hill for the tobbagans. Gawd I
love the winter.... I sure wish we had some friggin' snow
