Flummaster, I think the way this thread has been derailed gives you a good indication...everything degenerates to junior high banter.

Sometimes it appears that sailing has taken a back seat to every other topic...when you start crowding out meaningful discussions on meaningful sailing related topics with nonsense, the people who really have something valuable to contribute simply leave...it's similar to an invasive species being introduced to a lake full of bass, after a short time all the bass are gone and all you are left with are catfish (pun intended).

To make my point...at this time there are 1294 posts for a thread called "test" and 7,159 posts for a thread called "Drill Baby Drill" Sorry if this offends some but do you think those that are "actually acomplishing something with their life" are engaged in such drivel?
