Actually they both got it wrong. The formula for tension on a line is:

I just don't care for personal attacks. Right or wrong. Sorry, just didn't
like the topic of the post. The results of the question don't interest me.
I just think we are above the level of personal attack posts. It's OK to
disagree in a thread though, as long as it has to do with the topic of
rec.boats.cruising.

And I don't particularly care for criticism by newbies/lurkers using made up
names who have no clew what the situation is with Jax. When it comes to
personal attacks, wildly erroneous statements and thread drift Jax is second
only to a certain mailman from Florida. He deserves what he gets.

Furthermore, if you do not feel that a clear understanding of the loads on
anchor rodes, lifelines and standing rigging don't have anything to do with
cruising you are in the wrong news group.
