Not at all. You're welcome to believe what you want to believe. No
objection
here. Do you believe that Neal complainted to SuperNews about me?

No, I don't.

In fact, I don't think that I have ever seen anything written here -by
anybody- that would warrant a complaint to an ISP.

I assume that Neal is bright enough to regognise the difference between
abuse *on* the Internet, and abuse *of* the Internet. So I don't think that
he made a complaint to Supernews about you. Of course, if you had any
evidence to suggest that Neal did netKop you, then you would be well advised
to post it!

Y'know, what would it take for an orca attack on a human to be "proven?"
A lot of folks with no incentive to lie have reported attacks by orcas.

What sort of attacks? I've read the accounts of Scott's party in
Antarctica where they thought killers were trying to get at them on the
ice - they had horses (ponies) with them at the time. Killers certainly
are curious, smart and well equipped. I'm not aware of any attacks by
killers on humans, tho, and not any where the people were in the water.
OTOH there are a lot of cases where great white sharks have taken
people for food, ditto leopard seal attacks on people in Antarctica.

No but thanks for the ref. Have you read 'Castaway on Cae Breton' by
Prenties (1780) and Burrows (1823)? A very interesting pair of
narratives, including a lot of rough weather small boat sailing.

No, haven't seen them. Might need to add them to the search list.

I'm off to dry dock this afternoon, see you guys in a week or 2. Have
fun ignoring the flonkies.

Donal,
Neal bragged about it. You can find it on google

He is a Pussy Whipped Netcop of the first order. Believe it

Well, I'm just quoting Neal. He's the one who supposedly complained to SN.
He bragged about it for weeks. I have no proof other than his own words.

I think you're making a huge assumption about Neal. He's not that bright.

Yep. Almost every polar expedition reports similar, horses/ponies or
not. Old time whalers reported a fair number of the same, although in
some cases it's not clear if they were talking about orcas or sharks. I
have in mind an incident occurring sometime in the mid-1850s with one of
the first New England whalers in the Bering Sea... an orca (positively
identified by the reported physical characteristics) deliberately
stalking & sinking whaleboat, and eating some of the crew. A couple were
survivors rescued out of the water by a companion whaleboat.

There are many reported similar episodes, but the one that stands out in
my mind and one that includes a very clear description of a killer
whale. Is this "documented"? I'm not claiming so, but I'm not dismissing
it lightly either.


... Killers certainly

Yep. IMHO orcas & dolphins... probably a number of cetaceans... are as
smart as we are (well, some of us).


....I'm not aware of any attacks by
killers on humans, tho, and not any where the people were in the water.

Well, it depends on how much & what type of reading you do, and whether
you believe the stories. IMHO even if you dismiss a large percent of
stories of killer whales eating people, there's a large enough body of
evidence to say that it's probably happened once or twice.

OTOH there are a lot of cases where great white sharks have taken
people for food, ditto leopard seal attacks on people in Antarctica.


Oh yeah. Leapard seals are mean critters.

What's a "flonkie"? Are they like a horvath, only not as well trained?

Donal. I implore you to cease this defamation of Scotty..... at anytime now
Jonathan may post his typical header illustrating that you have been
reported to "abuse @ lanode.com"......

This will no doubt cause you grief in time and effort to address such
action.

Please heed this ... since you are a reasonable, fair and courteous person!
I do not wish upon you what Mr. Ganz subjected me to for exercising my right
to freedom of speech.

Come on Mooron. You know that's a bunch of bs. I would never report Donal,
because according to him, there is nothing one can do on a newsgroup that
would rise to that level.
