Summerset isn't until Labor Day. I have the boat here if you want to try it this weekend.
I would add
I believe the silly proliferation of forums highlight the idea that classes are engaged in this epic battle to cannibalize another class's sailors.
The number of special interest forums has diminished the cat racing community by defining and splitting off groups and sending them off into small paranoid corners. What's the point of an A class forum? What is so unique about the issues, skills, techniques of sailing an A class to warrant their own forum. I would argue that any single handed racer would be able to contribute to many threads... However when you put it in the A class Forum, I bet some people decide to NOT contribute.
Worse still, the separate forums allow the fragile and tender ego's to take their toy's and go home.... or attempt to throw someone out of the
THEIR
sandbox. Contribute to the F16 threads and prepare to fend off the complaint... you don't own an F16.... shut up... leave us alone. The attitude just carries over to the other forums.
All in all the community is diminished... the conversation then degenerates into drill baby drill... or boobs or personal attacks. Why bother?
Hey Mark,
Shut up you over sensitive,socialist, man-boob having douchenozzle. It does appear that I've covered all of your pre-requisites in my personal attack,and quite enjoyed it, so you may be on to something there.
that was helpful.

It's about time you showed up! Don't tell me you got a job.
I thought I was on your gayass ignore list. If I'm not don't read my posts. Got it. Good.

Hey hey hey....that was unnecessary.
Agree completely, using Facebook, MySpace, etc as replacement for real human contact is lame, lazy, and stupid. The real value in life is in real human interaction.
I'm just curious but my profession has tried to forbid the use of any of the social networking sites. Myspace, Facebook, etc. The reason given is that it is communication unable to be supervised and quite often it is used as a marketing tool. I have to have a different computer and a different email address entirely to participate in even this forum. Because I operate an office in my home as well they
suggest
no one in the family also have a facebook/myspace account.
You may have noticed that as I participate on Drill Baby Drill I will not bring my profession into the conversation. I'd like to many times but it is a violation and there are stories of problems arising from seemingly innocent conversations.
HOWEVER.....they have never said anything about looking at boobs .................... hmmmmmm.
My summer is mostly spoken for.
Anyone else have restrictions about the usage of Facebook and the like, professionally?
No statistics. I was just referring to my own little Facebook neighborhood.
Such as shoeing someone right in the jimmies. You just can't do that on facebook.
almost everyone in my office is on fb, yahoo, youtube, etc. mostly for marketing our companies.. but some personal use as well. pretty lax and unregulated.
of course social media does not replace human interaction, it is like a phone.. a tool to communicate...
i recently saw some quote where 40% of newlyweds met online... not a bad way to meet (better than at a bar, drunk) but also has drawbacks (the
girl
you are chatting with could be a big fat greasy guy from Wisconsin, or worse).
my reasons i am so active are:
a. my quest to learn more about sailing, rigging, etc.
b. i want/need an entertaining distraction at the office (i rarely post from out of the office)
<**** range (north of you) Saturday, but might be able to sneak out sometime this weekend if your schedule permits....
Spot on Bill, nudie bars are the way to go.
HA!
As Ding is fond of saying

It's a good cause how can you not support it?
agreed! although they don't seem to appreciate the dollar coins as much as I do....
It's not a game of
quarters
... or is it?
I think you've struck upon a clever marketing idea... A pair of safety goggles is about all it'd take, and you've opened up a whole new aspect of that business...
