Let me try and summarize your main points:

- Carriers are worthless because they are vulnerable.

- Fixed bases are more worthless.

That's why you need to send the Marines.

Don't plan - improvise. :)

Tom's wife is a bull****ter?

Just repeating what John called you (Tom).

=========================================

Try reading the header.

With all the folks here using multiple handles lately..........why
bother?

BTW: Who's wife is a bull****ter?
===================================

The point is you accuse someone that doesn't deserve it.

So who is it?
========================

It ain't SWS.

So who is it?

I don't care to do anymore research other than it's obvious who it isn't.

NP. Just seeing if you can help cleaning this place up.

Yeah, I do. Comped. Long, long story, the gist of which is that I used to
handle the marketing and PR for a now-defunct pro-military entanglement
"diplomacy" publication, and when the pub folded (long after my
involvement with it), the senior editor, a buddy, hopped to the Jane's

Right...it's much easier to accept the bs poured out by the U.S. DoD and

Pointing fingers to the wrong person? Eh?

Someone here stated that Dan was the culpri with the wife post. If
so.......I am disappointed. However......until Don chimes in I do not
accept the accusation.

The bottom line.............can folks her finally start to act like
the adults they are?

I can't speak for 'Dan', but Don is totally innocent of posting under any
handle other than Don White.

More problems for the Navy...

What I suspect will happen is that someday some assholes will launch one
of these new missiles at one of our capital ships, hit it, and sink it,
and *then* we'll have the sort of "missile crisis" that results some
years later in a new ship defense system. Defense systems tend to be
reactive.

We already had one of these incidents in 1987 with the Iraqis and the
USS Starke.
This wasn't really a high tech missile either, it was the Exocet, a
fairly crude subsonic cruise missile that managed 2 out of 2 hits on
the ship.



Good grief, man. That was in 1987 ..... 21 years ago. Technology has
changed a bit since then.

In addition, the main defensive weapon of its day ... the Phalanx close
in (last resort) system wasn't even turned on.

You also have to remember... small ships like the Starke are considered
to be expendable compared to an aircraft carrier.

Don't they call 'em 'picket ships' for a reason?

Are you sure about your accusation?

Only to the extent that the post was definitely from Halifax. Of that
there is no doubt.

[Thinking] about bringing a Person 32 back from Bermuda to Halifax in
mid September. Good idea or bad given the forcasts?

Pearson 32s are sailboats. Don is a sailor.

Unless Don has an evil twin who is also from Halifax, and also sails,
my money is still on him.

It's coming from googlegroups via an aggregator via a blogger site
called thecaptainandthekid.

It may have been routed thorugh a Halifax server, but I doubt it
originated there.

As least that's the way I read it.

Send your money. Yankee dollahs will do.
As much as I'd love to do a delivery like that, I tend to get seasick.
Besides, there are almost 400K people in the Halifax Regional
Municipality.... don't you think it's possible another might find and post
to this newsgroup?
(for the life of me, I don't know why)

We do have one poster here who uses a spoofer, he showed us a picture
of it on his monitor.. and he spells the same way too.. My bets are
on....

One who has been a lot more careful since Gene's server came on line,
one who craves attention, was very curious about Genes filters...

Hummmm....

Ah ha! Someone may be getting creative in this group.
Good thing they weren't smart enough to use my provider. I'd be here for
months protesting my innocence.

I've contacted Easynews to trace it out for me - I have "connections"

Get it - "connections"?

My thinking exactly.

Maybe you have friends in the IP spoofing business who know quite a
bit about you?
