I would say that 99% of the boating community would say that VMG to
windward implies beating,


Total nonsense. Windward work is exactly that and does not always imply
beating. Beating implies beating or "hard on the wind." Windward is ANY
point of sail above a beam reach to use the term 100% correctly. If the
folks in your fartbutt county skewed to have a specific meaning that's
fine. But following both the rules of sailing and English, you're wrong
and I'm right. End of story.

You mean the "pathological liar" comment? You've claimed a number of
times that you lie deliberately. In fact, you seem to take great
pride in your elaborate lies.

Elaborate lie? There's a bloody video of my boat! Is it from ILM? Any
time I've lied I've later had great fun TELLING the dopes here that
they were lied to. Wait around and see if James Cameron admits to
creating images of my boat in low res to fool everyone!

I didn't stay home, actually I was out on a friend's boat.

If I owned your boat I'd be on a friends boat too.
You're a sad little man, Jeff. Sad indeed.
