Seconded.

What the **** is wrong with our ****ing attitude, buddo?

Naggin on someone who is doing nothing wrong and plenty right seems
like a bad attitude to me, unless you've got dramatic
computer/software problems, like I said.

"Like" [sic] you said, please refer to my response to humor-impaired Don.

Hey bud:

At least I put a smiley face after my comment. You seem to be a little
"humor impaired" to me.

He said it well.

If you have to do this, does it not seem to you that the intended humor is
itself lacking in merit? Perhaps not, in which case there seems little
point in continuing.

Because words on a screen are missing the tonality, body language,
nuances of eye contact etc.of it is impossible to ascertain whether
someone, like you for instance, was attempting to be funny. Netiquette
indicates the need to add icons like smileys to indicate clearly the
intent of your words. It's not hard. You can do it.

I rechecked your sailing link, which I read sometime ago. I like your
adventures in Cuba, having travelled a fair bit you always seem to
meet a Max type person. I believe Nigel Calders latest book is on
crusing in Cuba. There is less than a dozen logs on the net about
crusing in Cuba and yours is one of them.

*Why sailors love the sea:* Without it they would have to carry their
boats.

The sailors with the most time get the best weather.

*From Jim Leech of Neil Pryde Sails: *
One of my favorite Irish proverbs is "If you don't know where you're
going, any road will take you there." And for those considering
lending
tools to the guy down the dock, "A borrowed saw cuts anything."


While we're quoting the literati, it was *JRR Tolkien* who said, "Not
all who wander are lost."

*Could apply to yacht racing: *"Never interrupt your enemy when he is
making a mistake." - Napoleon Bonaparte

There is nothing so distressing as running ashore, unless there is
also
doubt as to which continent the shore belongs."
*W.H.Tillman has many good ones

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist
expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."

In the long run, all solutions are temporary, so go ahead and use duct
tape.

Enjoyed the few postings I read so far; here is something I often tell
myself when I get stuck: There is no shortage of solutions, just a
shortage of imagination.
