Ellen,

I'd like to remind you that is a discussion group of Sailors talking to
Sailors. That is what it is meant to be. We do have a lot of people that
aren't sailors, probably more than we should and we have another group
of "Flunker" that would like to destroy the group, Ellen we tolerate
all, as if we were in a public bar. Sailors talking to sailor. We let
the outsider into our conservation; if they don't try to change us. If
they do we just ignore them or we have been know to make fun of them.

Ellen, I don't know how you expect us to act but we are what we are!
Take us or leaves us. Either way, it's no skin off our asses!

We aren't here for YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. If you can contribute do so if
you CAN'T then SHUT THE HELL UP!

Are you a Korean War Navy Veteran? By gum, I bet you are. I'd be proud to
shake your hand.

Lloyd, Ol Thom is the man of the BIG war. The Golden age, America's
best.

Good Lord Lloyd........Ol Thom walked the same deck as William
Frederick Bull Halsey, Jr., Admiral, United States Navy.

Stand at attention when you address Ol Thom....you slacker.

Well, it's usenet. No moderator and no barrier to anybody
wandering in off the street. Which is why we have the
resident homeless crazies yelling obscenities & talking to
themselves.

No! Would we ever be so rude?!?

Time for Scotty to repost the dockside bar analogy.

The one that says sailing is like a bar, except that you sit in the drink
occasionally?
