Your the second or third person who said that. I stand corrected. From
what I
read of his recent posts there wasn't much about sailing. I'd apologize to
him but
he's not reading my posts anymore so his loss.

Thom recently sold his last boat due to personal reasons. It broke his
heart to do so, but it was a proper decision nonetheless. Being a
landlubber notwithstanding, Thom's experience with sailing and sailboats
likely eclipses just about everyone else's here. That said, to hear you
giving him grief raised my hackles a mite. Personally, I think you owe him
an apology.

I'm waiting.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Agreed. Doesn't cost anything and it might improve "Ellen's"
standing in the world. Plus it builds character. And Ol'
Thom will probably see it since he reads a number of posts
from others and a deserved apology will certainly be quoted
by many in their posts.

Should a ''beached bum'' like Thom be considered a
landlubber?

Nah....he's taken on so much salt water over the years that he'll never
lose the wrinkles on his skin....maybe we can just refer to him as the
group "driftwood"....

Negative.

I apologize to old Thom for the bad things I said about him.
But, somebody's going to have to pass it on, or he won't read it.

Cheers,
Ellen
