Lauri,

When you speak about reliability looks like you do not understand that
the ability to steer the boat in difficult conditions is a factor of the
reliability.


Another example of the condescending adversarial tone you've set in this
thread - see below:

You give the impression that the windvanes fail on guts, I can promise
you that there are many parts in a sailing boat more prone to break than
the proper windvanes.


Irrelevant - he never made comparisons against other systems, merely
states the obvious. i.e. mechanical systems *do* wear, and *do* break,
as do electromechanical or pneumatic systems. You were seemingly saying
that *proper* windvanes don't wear or break, which is patently false.

I do not speak or write English as my first language, not even the
second or third, so if you feel competent to inult my lingual ability


He was stating an obvious fact. His post was in agreement, in large
part, with your position. You've continually failed to understand that,
and have become progressively more insulting and belligerent when he has
tried to point out your misunderstanding. I think he was being generous
in attributing your inability to understand to a language difficulty.

Just to tell you something we have learned about the engineers here in
Finland, but looks like it might be true all over the world: If a 2 feet
piece of railroad and an engineer get into an artument, which one gives
in first? The railroas, because it is smarter.


My point exactly. At the end of yet another post where the respondent
has tried to point out that *he is agreeing with your position*, you're
telling him *he's* stupid. So...you're either failing to comprehend the
post material, or you're simply an ass. How about you do yourself, and
us, a favor and re-read this thread, then decide which is the case
before you continue this tirade.

BTW, if you're that sensitive about your language skills, Usenet will
get very frustrating for you. Contrary to what you obviously believe,
most of us here (in English speaking countries) have a good deal of
respect for the folks around the world that are able to communicate in a
foreign language, but we also expect that there will be times when
fluency impedes understanding. So lighten up; it's not an insult.
