Frostbiting (was whipping or dipping?)
That's kewl. Actually a lot of frostbiting is done in prams, like El
Toros and Sabots. Not sure what the attraction is for smaller boats--perhaps the reasoning is that a larger dink might take longer to right after a capsize. IMHO there are several attractions... less rig-up time so you spend less time in the freezing parking lot... more tactical racing over a smaller area, so you can sail races right in the basin. And it's not a bad reason, being able ot right the boat more quickly & easily. They certainly have less stuff to get tangled in. In 40 degree water hypothermia comes knocking at your door right quickly. Not if you're dressed properly. OTOH it's also possible that the thermal shock of immersion could cause pretty much instant cardiac arrest... it happens sometimes. As with much else in nature, human response to hypothermia follows a bell curve. Walt wrote: I think it has to do with the ease of rescue. If there's a capsize, the RC can pluck the sailor out of the water and then do the same with the boat - Cape Cod Frosty's are light enough that the class enforces minimum weight requirement by having the sailor stand on a scale holding the boat. Great idea. I also like the minimum sailing weight rule which includes the crew. Clearly, a boat on these proportions is going to be very sensitive to crew weight. DSK |

Somehow I presumed you were smarter than that. Guess initial impressions can be deceiving. Why do most newsreaders , including Microsoft's "Outlook Express" default to top posting? You've asked politely, so I'll give you a straight answer. I don't know why Outlook Express defaults to top-posting, but I can guess. Most emails are top-posted, so one can assume that when OE was designed, it followed the email convention since it is an email client as well. OE is a very old email client / news reader--even MS has come up with better software in the intervening years. And OE is probably the weakest, least versatile news reader currently available. I use it because it's simple and cheap--it came with my bundled software. If I were serious about Usenet I'd probably invest in one of the better pieces of software, such as Eudora. As for top-posting or bottom-posting, the old adage "when in Rome . . ." applies in spades. It is frustrating, not to mention cumbersome, to have to deal with top-posters when the majority of the regulars in a NG bottom-post. If everyone top-posted, it would conversely be annoying to have someone bottom-posting. Almost everyone here bottom-posts. Jon, you, and a few others persist in top-posting, which makes for absolutely no continuity in reading long threads *unless* the person who responded to your post cuts and pastes your post to the bottom, as I did here. There is no rule governing where you post, just common courtesy. Max |

Max Well, is it not discourteous to asume that all your readers have such a short attention span that they have to re-read everything from way back so that they can catch up? Also, if they have not been paying attention why should all those who have been have to suffer screenfuls of unsnipped history just to help the lazy ones? If insufficient attention is given to constructive snippage you cannot blame anyone for top posting. Jonathan Ganz always top posts and although I frequently disagree with what he says on non-sailing topics I do always look at what he has to say because it is quick and easy, whereas most of the unsnipped bottom posters get instantly marked 'ignore conversation'. It is lazy and inconsiderate to make people scroll down a couple of screens just to read something like 'I agree' or 'You are an idiot/gayboy/lubber/sockpuppet/whatever.
