No Marty, Not at all.
In fact I don't see ASA as having been destroyed,,,,I see a lot of
valuable contributors who post less often or have been driven away by
some of the less regulars here....mainly because the people could not
agree to disagree, and the pack mentality that seems to exist among
those who see themselves as 'normal'.
Normal being unlike Cappy, Bubbles,Jon,and apparently even myself (If
I'm to believe you).

The flonkers are easily kf'ed... I see them now and then and just
adjust my filters.

True enough, I think a lot of the regulars got tired.

I'm not that sure that many actually know how to.

Oh well, I'd like to see Tadpole and the Nav back, miss 'ol Thom too,

Jax would certainly be interesting, I haven't read a definitive work on

Oh... normal, like Oz going on and on about some dumb car troll bs from BS.
Hate to tell him, fortunately, don't have to since he's in my killfile
because of his and/or BS' bs, that I've been around here longer than most.
Anyone who thinks Crapton, who has never seen a sockpuppet (male or female)
he didn't like and who treats just about everyone he encounters as his
personal doormat to wipe his sh*t stained shoes on, or anyone who think that
BS is anything more than a long-winded, I've gotta be right, stepping stone,
I'm better than you, blowhard, deserves to be right where I put him.

ASA is just a newsgroup. If Oz is so concerned about its existence, he
should take it as his responsibility to do something other than whine about
others being at fault. The regulars got tired because of a couple of people
being total sh*ts. Look at Crapton.. he's been booted from just about every
NSP and ISP in existance, including apparently some of the free ones. Look
at BS.. he got booted from AOL for godsake. Then there's the various
incarnations of gidget or giligan or momma, aka or whomever. He's been
posting his psychotic crap for years, all anonymously. Maybe he's afraid of
something.

So, Oz, who by his own words doesn't sail anymore, should probably either
put up or shut up. I doubt he'll do either.

I know what they're tired of.. at least some of them. With posts like BS',
Oz', et. al., what would you expect.

I've lost a lot of respect for Oz. Too bad. He seemed like a decent guy,

bow in reverance.
He has banded his group of clowns to gether because I chose to

Hey Jon,,,I don't sail a lot these days because I fly a lot.
Both my son and I have licences now...he is both commercial and IFR

Weather is lifting here so he's out getting the plane ready for a

What happened to ASA?
 

Wow. History is a funny thing.

The FACT of the matter is this: When Capt. Neal and I, and even Jax
would make our preposterous posts they did in fact generate discussion
about sailing. Some of it was quite fun and informative. There was so
much sailing talk that ASA saw it's best days at that time, when the
so called "trolling" was at it's peak. Sure, I told tales, types
inexplicably nasty stuff and caused trouble, but MOST of the group
appeared to enjoy it.

Then came those who could not play well with others. Ganz was at the
top of the list. He simply could not take it and constantly reported
people, Mooron and several others left. Ganz tried to get me out too,
but he couldn't manage it. And make no mistake; Capt. Neal IS GONE. He
does not post here, sockpuppets or otherwise.

ASA is basically dead. I haven't the time to invest in the few, mostly
embittered stragglers who remain here. By and large I except most of
the ASA members are cool people. The few that I met in person
certainly were and that includes Jax, who had more fun at everyone's
expense that they'd believe. I saw him in early spring and he's doing
well.

Still, I like Ozzy and a few folks here. Katysails was sharp and
Mooron always game. Donal is among the last of the big players, but
he's a rare commodity these days. And who remembers the veritable
who's who of ASA....Mooron, Skitch, Neal, Old Thom, Jax, Scotty,
Tadpole, Doug, Steve, Katy, Marc and so many others who drifted over
the transom of the late great ASA?

ASA is dead. Long live ASA.

Thrown in?
Martin, this is an unmoderated newsgroup, I have had many a
disagreement with Bubbles, Cappy and many others here.
Idon't get into bed with any person nor group, I choose to remain
totally independent as should everyone.
To accuse me of "throwin in with" is insulting both to me and your
intelligence.
Don't you get tired of the constant reposting of Jon's old posts?
Don''t you get tired of 'Jon took drugs', or the excruciatingly tedious,

Martin, In another forum I get accused of being a liar constantly by
those whom I call "the clowns" led by a head clown to whom they all
bow in reverance.
He has banded his group of clowns to gether because I chose to
disagree with him on a number of things..since then, anything I've
written has been Googles up, embellished and presented as a fact to
'prove' that I've lied.
The clowns continually write that "he's wasting his time posting here
because no-one is listening". What they don't realise is that their
killfiles are so full of the names of those who have a similar opinion
of the clowns that they remain blind.

To answer your question...No...I just don't choose to read those
posts.
I had credited you with more intelligence, I guess even I can be mistaken.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

In the absence of sailing discussion, spammers & sockpuppets have
filled the void.

Nothing stays the same, there are a lot more discussion groups on the
internet now. Maybe you should hunt for one that suits your prejudices
better?

Still, there has occasionally been a sailing discussion here; look at
JL's boat shopping for example. If there's something you want to
discuss here, go ahead. Merely complaining never gets you anywhere.

You're right. Opinions don't matter.

However, two things... when stalking happens inside Usenet, then this tends
to impair freedom to post on the part of the person being stalked. A couple
of people, and I use the term loosely, attempted to shut down my ability to
express my opinion. Taint never gonna happen, btw.

When it happens outside of Usenet (both within and outside Usenet for me),
then it is real life, and it does matter.

Re the success of a "slightly" charter business... nothing is or was
illegal, and claiming this over and over is the equivalent of the Swift Boat
attack on someone's reputation. This has real-world effects if left
unchallenged, much as what happened in the previous Pres. election in this
country.

As you know, I've not been immune to the allure of trolling and and while
trolling can be fun or at least entertaining, what that started here with
Neal and a couple of others went far beyond trolling.

The car stuff was entertaining, at least for me, for a brief period, because
it's occasionally amusing to watch BS get stomped. After 100 posts or so, it
just became boring. I'm amazed you didn't realize this... or was it a
keep-it-going-for-as-long-as-you-can sort of thing?

I think Zinfandel is about the worst wine I have ever tasted. And your link
says it sells for $55 a bottle! There must be some strange people out
there.
In an article about Sarah Palin I have just seen a recipe for moose stew and
the author recommended that a 'robust zinfandel' was the right wine to be
drunk with it!!
Robust? Ye gods, the ordinary stuff is bad enough.
What a way to treat a moose.
YMMV of course. It takes all sorts...

Actually, Jon, when I came back to the group I was dissappointed to
see that the longest thread in the last 4 months was about 23 posts.

In the good old days of ASA, we had enormous threads that went on
for
weeks. The banter and debate was good fun for all concerned. So, I
deliberately tried to stir things up, to see if we could get an old
style ASA argument going. I'm reasonably pleased with the result.
I accept that it was a bit long, but it was in the tradition of ASA.

The big problem with a sailing newsgroup is that we are subject
to the weather. If we don't get to sail, then we don't have much
to say about sailing. This year (and last) the weather has been lousy.
6 weeks ago I almost contemplated selling Setanta. Since then
I have had 5 weekends of good sailing, so I have forgotten all
thoughts of giving up my hobby.

You may not like Fat Bob...but he can start a good sailing thread.
I am good at *responding*... unfortunately I am not creative enough
to start threads.

If you start off some sailing threads, then I will be very happy to
try to make them last longer. Invariably, this means that I will
dissagree
with you. Good conversation doesn't occur when everyone says "I
agree".

One final point.

Don't you enjoy watching me wrap Bob around my little
