More like a Capt. Rob One Note. :-) Say your prayers, Thom. Be thankful your able to add to the
diversity. Just try to keep it on topic. Saying on topic posts are boring is dumb. Just don't read them.

Cheers,
Ellen

I guess you aren't a captain Joe. I'm studying to take the six-pak license. I'm not a captain yet
but I know you only have to take the test once. If you let it expire you have to take the test again.
It's funny you think I'm Captain Neal. I logged on to his site. He weird but he knows tons about
sailing. More than anybody here. Well, I take it back. Maybe Jeff knows more.

Everyone gets old; eventually everyone dies. To not have compassion for
the human condition negates the com passionless one to being subhuman at
best but mire probably inhumane.

Good advice, Katy. I'm a little ashamed. Me and Thom got off on the wrong foot. I have compassion for
him, I really do. It's just that he needs to stop living in the past. He should be happy with the present. Complaining
about everything makes him grumpy. Lots of people are worse off than him. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
Look at it this way. It's a blessing even in the taking away stage of life.....

I don't want to start off y disagreeing with a basically
good philosphy here, but not everyone gets old. Many people
die young.

As for compassion, it is one of the characteristics that
partially seperates humans from animals. To not have
compassion is to be an animal, not human.

To continue on this theme, are sock puppets human? If an
"internet character" dies, does he/she go to Heaven if he's
been good?

I just read your post with people being cut in half and decapitated and other gory things.
You call that interesting, Joe? Maybe if your a serial killer or a pervert. Rules talk belongs here
more than blood and gore talk. You gotta be careful. When you accuse people make sure your
not guilty of the same thing or worse....

True trailor sailors like you will never encounter anything more
dangerious than a wet butt rash but........ gory things happen at sea,
and I rather talk about a 4" hauser parting and killing a sailor so
perhaps it will instill the importance of never turning your back on a
line under load. That may keep another person from such a preventable,
but too common an accident.

Makes more sence than talking about rowing a sailboat backwards thru
an anchorage any day.

You can chat fantasy all day, and that makes since because you are
your fantasy, have no boat, and never sail.

Ahoy there Thom. I'm going sailing this evening... on the boat right
now, about to attempt the impossible.... finding the oil pressure
sensor alarm wire connection, so I can reconnect it. :-)

True. And more welcome than political talk or motor talk. But seriously. That poor guy
probably wouldn't have time to get away even if he was looking right at the hawser when it
parted.

Chatting *fantasy* maybe could prepare you for real life, couldn't it. I do have a boat and I do sail.

*I* don't need oil pressure to go sailing. Don't you have sails on your boat?

You truly are stupid aren't you. Don't answer. It's a rhetorical question.
