...than for Scotty to drive that 18 wheeler around in NYC.


Many years ago I use to deliver produce to Hunts Point there in
NYC... which I had picked up on the West Coast.

I wouldn't even consider driving around that town... even in
a bobtail mode... and couldn't wait to get the heck out of that
general area. I'm certain it's only worse now...

I'm assuming that Scotty was on a "run"... therefore in his
big rig.

Accordingly... it would have been more appropriate for Rob
to make the transit.

Hmmm... "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad..."

heh heh

Pertinent word the appropriate. Since when has that word
applied to Bobbie?

...appropriate. Since when has that word applied to Bobbie?

Katy... I'm kind of the "new kid on the block" here... so to speak.

I don't know CaptRob that well... much less if he truly exists...
although I suspect that he does in some form or the other.

For that matter some of the others/regulars have me some what
stymied as well... relative to being "sockpuppets" or whatever.

In spite of the mystique (for me at least) this web site is still a
fun and entertaining read.

Like Jonathan once said... "this is the wild wild west of the cruising
forums". I believe it... cause I have the time to view most of them
that are active... on a daily basis.

Best regards

Bill

That's a very good thing..

much less if he truly exists...

oh, he exists all right...he is not a sockpuppet but he may have
sockpuppets (some think Binary Bill and Commodore Joe, etc...)

although I suspect that he does in some form or the other.

Yes, he has a form...you can't ignore it..it's big and louty...he
does post his picture, after al....

Just takes time to know who is who, who is real, and who is
not...Ganz, Scotty, Seahag, Mooron, DSK, Tadpole, Old Thom, myself,
Maxprop, NoPony, Rngmastr, Scout, Bart jlrogers are all
real...Crantz is a secret known to only the elite...MysTerry is not
real and is not even the real original socpuppet. It's hard to know
if Joe is real or not. Others who appear are in my killfile so they
are not real to me.

In spite of the mystique (for me at least) this web site is still a
fun and entertaining read.

Yes...it is or else a number of us would not have remained after all
these years...

Bubspritke isn't smart enough to have very good sock
puppets, the ones he has always agree with him and talk in
the same phrasing. Easy to spot.

It would be better if we did all ignore him. It would be
cruel, but eventually he'd go away.

'Bob Crantz' has tremendous wisdom to impart, from the
earthly & scientific to the ethereal & abstract.

Yes, Joe is real. So is his boat. He's also unreal.

This will help explain this newsgroup (turn subtitles on).

BTW this is not a website, it's usenet. Different medium,
different message. It's a free-for-all.

Now *that* is scary.

Welcome, Bill. Indeed I am real. I'm also one of the few people who
actually sails rather than just talking about it. Doug, who is quick to
jump on any thread (rarely starts his own of course) is a powerboater
and owns no sailboat of any kind. Same for Bob Crantz. Mooron does not
sail, his boat is landlocked for repairs.
Others here do most of their sailing from the easy chair, an issue of
Cruising World (stolen from a library no doubt) at their side.
Wait for spring and summer...see who actually just talks about sailing
and who has a website filled with genuine sailing fun. As for the
others, most sail older tired boats, dreams of a performance sailboat
long shattered by their own financial limitations or lack of
imagination. Most of the "sailors" here are a good deal older than me,
but they are hardly examples to follow.
All of these people know I have no sockpuppets, but be warned!!! If you
agree with me on anything or challenge the mindless mass of CPU
sailors, you'll ne quickly labeled as "me" or Captain Neal.
Most of all, just have fun. If you want serious sailing talk go
elswhere or join an e-mail group. Most of us realize that such behavior
must be limited to this one area, though a few (Doug again) think it's
okay to troll elsewere.
Good luck.

BTW, my new boat....

I agree.

Plus - I have no boat!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Amen!

ASA is akin to a bar, a sailor bar of sorts. Most of us sit at
the big table in the middle, drink rum and talk about sailing and
other varied topics. There's a smaller table where the racers
sit. And one for political talk. Then there's that small table
by the men's room, where the girly men hang out.
The 'lurkers' stop in for one drink at the bar and may, or may
not say hi as they walk out.
We built a separate room for the Canadians, but they keep
sneaking back into the main bar.

Like any other bar, we have our share of stupid, loud, obnoxious
drunks who stumble around call themselves 'Commodore' and annoy
everybody.
Occasionly , rats from other bars stop in and try to start
fights. We deal with them and send them on their merry way.

Then there's Bob. He cleans the bathrooms, in exchange for free
drinks. He'll sit at a table, blabbing on and on about nothing.
The sailors tell him to get lost, but he just drones on and on
and on, until the bartender, Thom, yells for him to clean up the
puke in the bathroom.

Shall we start a tab?

Now that's the best description of this group of malcontents and
misfits I've read to date.

I'm real but only post occasionaly because I have a Banshee 13 and it
doesn't have a jib or head or cabin or even a swin platform.
