Capt. Rob beats everybody for greatest number of posts to alt.sailing.asa. He's the champion. Nobody's even close. 28, 829 posts total. You can go down the *all time* list and see who has no life. No life at all..... Cheers, Ellen |

Rob, aren't you. He was the life of the party around here, I think. He kept things going. He ruled. He has a wife and little boy. He definitely has a life. Sordid existence is more like something that fits what Capt. JG has.... If you can even call what he does existing. But the sordid part is right on brother. Cheers, Ellen |

It's more likely that reality intruded into his lovely ASA fantasy life... maybe his mom took his computer away, or perhaps he really was married and his wife read some of his posts (same thing, really). For myself, I think it possible that one of the regulars in this NG who are actual real people met him one day and he decided not to risk more such encounters. There's also the strong possiblity that he is lurking, laughing up his sleeve, and plotting his next "script" to claim to be working on. Remember, Bubbles "left ASA for good" many times in the past and always returned like a dog to it's vomit. We should hope he fell into the same hole that swallowed up Jaxxie. -signed- Injun Ear (formerly known as Eagle Eye) |

Not surprising. He lives in NY and he was posting all day on 9/11 and
the days after while his neighbors were in need of help. What a looser. |

The piston travel from 90 degrees to 270 degrees is different from 270 to 90 degrees. This is one of the "bar puzzles" that is counter-intuitive, since we would normally think in terms of upstroke versus downstroke, or 0-180 versus 180-0, which is quite different from "top of cycle" versus "bottom of cycle." (I suppose it depends on which bar you hang out in...) Actually, IIRC the discussion should have had to do with piston velocity, but jaxie lured Nav into this trap. Jaxie had a few of these, a few of them correct, like catenaries, and most bogus, like his understanding of Einstein. |

"Mundo" wrote Does that photo still exist? I seem to remember photoshopping it a little. I googled JAXAshby and found the website by opalgal. I guess that was his girlfriend at one time. When he broke up with her he called her fat and tattooed and bitch. So she posted that Speedo picture of him. She still has it on her website in a link. But, it's not a real picture. It's a bunch of zero's and one's but from a distance it looks like a picture. JAX has taken down his AOL website where he used to have some more pictures. That's what Opalgal said at least. She's very unattractive. Cheers, Ellen |

The geometry of 90-270 is identical to that of 270-90 and so is 0-180 and 180-0. |

The geometry is clearly not the same for the top and bottom parts of the cycle. Draw it out - its just a matter of trig. The piston moves slightly more than half its travel going from 0 (TDC) to 90 degrees. As an interesting degenerate case, consider when the connecting rod is the same length as the crank offset (I forget what that is really called). In that case, the piston will reach the center of the crank at 90 degrees and stay stationary for the entire bottom half of the cycle. |

If you just draw it out with lines on paper you will find that the piston does not move at all once it is at the centre since everything would just revolve around it.

In that case, the piston will reach the center of the crank at 90 degrees and stay stationary for the entire bottom half of the cycle. That is a situation impossible in practice. Hmmm. Is it really impossible? I think you might be able to. But it really doesn't matter, its just a degenerate case to show clearly that the geometry is not symmetrical. If you just draw it out with lines on paper you will find that the piston does not move at all once it is at the centre since everything would just revolve around it. The problem in this case is that on the upstroke there is no force that raises the piston. If, however, you made the con-rod a tad longer then it would clearly show almost all of the travel in the top half of the stroke. I am beginning to think that you invented Jaxx just to have a bit of fun with us... I think we all play the game of inventing a "straw man" to argue with. Republicans do it all the time by casting the typical Democrat as an ultraliberal that in truth was only found with a few hundred yards of Harvard or Berkeley for a few milliseconds about 40 years ago. (Actually, every now and then I go to party where I encounter people like that, but then I live only a few miles from Harvard Square.) Jaxie was a living, breathing straw man that gave us all the opportunity to know that we are at least smarter than one person. |
