I have noted a rise in frustration lately on this group.

I think many people are frustrated and showing that frustration by
being grouchy, mean and crass. Take Katysails, for example. She has
become the witch we all knew she was. She could no longer keep up
the facade of being somewhat normal.

Mooron is clearly angry and upset at being shut in and not able to
sail his sturdy but slow vessel. Gaynz is probably afraid to sail his
tiny craft with all the rain and storms California is having.

Ole Thom seems to be somewhat out of sorts in that the conditions
in his neck of the woods is not conducive to sailing either.

Please note how the above people who claim to be sailors have got
themselves stuck in places where sailing is but a dream most of the
year. One must wonder why they remain living in regions where they
know they will be frustrated most of the year?

Is it because they are stupid? Lazy? Unmotivated? Trapped? Awaiting
trial? Perhaps, but I think the real reason boils down to the fact that
they are, in their hearts, lubbers. If they were really sailors they
would have found a way to live in places that allow them to sail on
a year round basis.

The only conclusion I can draw is Joe and I are the only real sailors
on this newsgroup.
