Get a clue, Sammy. Ellen is Neal Warren, the famed Crapton Neal. And
those of us who have frequented this group for years and years consider
it to be more the place where sailors congregate to shoot the local
bullroar and just have a good time. There are other sailing related
groups that are dedicated to on topic sailing discussions. This place
has never been one of those places and never will until the last of us
regulars dies or can no longer post. What I, and others here, don't
understand, is people who come into a situation and immediately demand
that the atmosphere change to suit their own particular sensibilities.
Over the years, I have developed a pretty thick skin posting here. I
learned to give it out as well as take it. My suggestion is that if you
do not like us, then don't punish yourself by staying. If you want to
contribute, then do so, but we are not changing for you. BTW, just so
you know, I live 8 ,miles from the Atlantic and Chesapeake Bay and we
keep out boat near Pamlico SOund...we are active sailors and have posted
out adventures here and also many of the humdrum everyday sorts of
things sailors talk about. Is there something in particular you would
like to know?
