About JAXAshby
 

I would like to ask three questions:

1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses
to others?


2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and
rude?


3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a
better place?

I would like to ask three questions:

1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses
to others?

of course. see discussions on the inherant dangers of anchoring on all chain,
or the invalidity of the concept of "hull speed", or why sails don't "suck"
boat forward because they are "curved on one side", or my relating my recent
offshore trip.

Let me repeat that one, because you missed it. Quote: ENE. Nothing broke. No
drama. Unquote.


2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and
rude?

I only slide down to the level of the idgits when they claim the world's source
of information is Popular Science magazine, and they learned everything there
is to know by the time they were 13 yrs old.


3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a
better place?

Of course I know because they email. Sadly, most leave not long after due to
SO much non-valid garbage information spouted by people afraid of 14 knot
winds.

OK, anybody besides Sociopath JAXASHBY care to answer ? Let's repost to
keep it clear. This time JAX, let someone else answer. You're (inflated)
opinion of yourself is already well documented in usenet.

James,

I think it would be a great idea if you folks would start an
alt.bash.jaxashy newsgroup and take this stuff over there. You all act
so outraged at Jax's mere existence, but you insist on replying to his
posts - especially the inflammatory ones - and even starting new threads
to bait him. If you want him to go away, just ignore him. But you know
that don't you?

It makes one wonder who here is the troll?

I hate killfiling knowledgable people because they just can't let this
stuff alone.

Cindy please answer the questions.

Thanks

Jimmy

ROTFLMFAO

laugh a lot, jimmy, and maybe trim down enough to walk through a door without
hitting it on both sides.

they *could* try talking sailing, couldn't they, but then I would post even
more and they would post even less.

Cindy, they are just whistling walking past the cemetary at night. They are
terrified to go out on a boat when the wind gets high enough to make whitecaps.

Well Blackbeard, I will take your answers as

1. sometimes.
2. sometimes.
3. sometimes.

Variations in his bootleg "medications" and erratic dosing by his
attendants cause marked changes in his avatar. Some think he is the
water cooler video game somewhere, played by different teams on an
obscure rotation schedule employing an 8-ball mystery answer
machine, or an Ouija board with a square ball bearing bouncing
around on an industrial bakery mixing cauldron half full of bricks
and goose grease, mounted on rusty springs.

WRT #3, the individual is probably himself.

I unplonk him on occasion, for a little stimulation. He is a bit
like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
If you like marzipan and turkish delight and fermented garlic fish
paste, you might enjoy the experience, but grease up your sense of
humour and snug up your tolerance collar, first.

What's he up to this week? (Like it matters? You shouldn't eat what
you didn't cook, and you should never take usegroup seriously, Never.)

He even complimented me, recently. That was scary. I had to re-read
a week's worth of my old postings, to see where I went wrong.

Mr. Spragg, I salute your command of verbal imagery. A brief comment a
Scottish friend made once sums it up: "Yer man's got a heid full o'
wee motors". Classic.

He even complimented me, recently. That was scary. I had to re-read
a week's worth of my old postings, to see where I went wrong.

Yeah, I got one of those once, presumably right after one of his
"sessions"..or perhaps the moon was in phase or something.

It soon cleared up and he was back to chewing through his rode.

rhys, did you see the current GOB and its comment about stopping chafe using a
cable through the chocks (two concentric PVC pipes to protect the chock) then
hooked to *rope* hooked to 8 (?) feet of chain hooked to the anchor?
Interesting. Appears to have completely eliminate any chance of chafe.

Nonsense, I used a half a mile of chain and never had it snub, even
once. Alternating floats and kellets on chain, known as an accordion
mooring, work very well. If you had any experience, you'd know.

or the invalidity of the concept of "hull speed",

It is a perfectly useful prediction of an approximation of the most
economical cruising speed in some cases.

or why sails don't "suck" boat forward because they are "curved on one side",

Sails certainly do suck, because they are anti-curved on the other
side. All arguements can be expressed from more than one viewpoint.
It's a mathematically invertable answer, like the famous "Gravity
blows apart matter with negative mass." -I forgot who said that.

or my relating my recent
offshore trip.

Let me repeat that one, because you missed it. Quote: ENE. Nothing broke. No
drama. Unquote.

How long did mommy let you stay in the tub? You know your duckie is
rubber because of the way you drowned the other one. Real duckies
don't seem to like you very much. I think they all have Jungian
telepathy, and only there are you a hot topic. (pronounced "Yun-gee-an")

2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and
rude?

Jax usually replies to himself, but even then sometimes he is polite.

I only slide down to the level of the idgits when they claim the world's source
of information is Popular Science magazine, and they learned everything there
is to know by the time they were 13 yrs old.

You do it more often than that. Besides, Popular Science is the
BEST source of information, partly because it's timely, partly
because it's free if you read it while waiting for your beloved to
meet you by the checkout, also, it must be good, because some people
pay to read it. Suckers.

3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a

Does painting dog poo make it "better?" At least, the medium
precludes his appearing here in person, so...Yaaa. But, soon, we and
he will be able to embed a dedicated, live web cam window in every
posting. At that point, I would have to reverse my answer.

Of course I know because they email. Sadly, most leave not long after due to
SO much non-valid garbage information spouted by people afraid of 14 knot

Better the idiots who do not reef? They don't leave, zaK, they plonk
you again.

Jimmie's not here. Go back to sleep. Do not belive what the trolls
tell you they want.

Terry K

Sails certainly do suck, because they are anti-curved on the other
side.

There is no such force in nature called "suck". It doesn't exist.

btw, a sheet of plywood has no curve or anti-curve to it at all and it most
certainly can be used to move a sailboat forward.

Remember that G*Dawful shot of him in black speedos he posted a few
years back? The idea of JaxCam makes me want to :-D=====# but if anyone
has a URL for 'that' self portrait, it would be a public service to post
the link with an industrial strength health warning attached.

*DONT* email it to me, one glance at it was entirely too much. GAG

Arguing with Jax is far too much like wrestling a pig in its sty. You'll
both get covered in sh-t but the pig will enjoy it. The most
entertainment for the easily amused would be betting on how many times
he contradicts himself.

Finally, Jax, if you are reading this, Seasons greetings to you. Please
make a new year's resolution to upgrade your trolling style from
chumming with minced well aged roadkill to dry fly fishing :-)

Well I'll take that as misspelt, not as intended :-)
Oddly enough, I am taking a haggis & all the traditional trimmings to
somewhere in the Med for the new year.

As to panhandling, I've belived a few plausible rogues before now. I
have also helped some genuinely in need who have tried to repay me later
when they could. My usual response to the honest ones is 'Pay it
forward, not back'. Might do you the world of good to get outside and
see who YOU can help.

No, I didn't, as I don't get Good Old Boat very often...it's pretty
expensive and I find most clever boat ideas online. But that's a good
one, I'll admit. Is there a snubber or other shock absorber in there
somewhere?

I use plastic braid tubing and lanolin-coated leather in tandem
currently at the chocks. I am trying to convince my local fire station
to give me an old hose as that would be my chafe gear for the rest of
my life, likely. I could will the remainder to Junior Sailing G

R.

Is there a snubber or other shock absorber in there

the author anchors on rope, using the cable for chafe protection. Read a copy
of GOB on a newsstand. The author (and wife) uses 100' lengths (say they wish
they had 50' lengths) hooked together with carbiners, hooked to a small amount
of chain hooked to an anchor. Makes it easy to put out two anchors (in case
the wind shifts) with a heavy kellet weight to eliminate the rode fouling the
keel or rudder.

1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses

Not that I am aware of. Seems he is loaded with mis information and insults.
Imature insults at that. Child like.

If he has, I have missed it.

I can't imagine any place that ol Jacks would make a better place. Can you
imagine stuck with this man on a boat and haveing to listen to his insesecent
rants? ekk

I have said it before, and I shall say it again, when ever jax posts, it's as
if someone farted in the room.

maybe if we compained to aol?

James :

I would like to ask three questions:

1) Does JAXAshby post useful, intelligent information in his responses

Yes. But so rarely that I can't think where I saw the last one like that.

2) Does JAXAshby ever post replies to others that are NOT insulting and

Again yes. But also again rarely. Still more often than the answer to
question
#1.
3) Is there anyone on this newsgroup who thinks that JAXAshby makes it a

No. I have been deleting all his messages for the last two years, it has
made reading rec.boat.crusing a lot more fun.

nonsence. cut your speed to 80% and you will save 35% on your fuel. cut by
50% and save by about 75%.

fuel required goes up with drag, which goes up at the square of boat speed.
Cut it to zero and save 100%
