Denby-
I am familiar with the microwave thread.
As well, I was not worked up in any way... +/-. Just chucking in a few cents of my own. (In effort to get more posts out there, say something to be part of this thread, and continue conversations). As you mentioned, I am new here... but not unaware of the nature of this net. Nay, my first exposure to it was a hell of a lot of "ribbing," as you say–which is why I am posting
here and sticking around
You could say that my bringing up the fact that SimonV doesn't have ANY paper
charts onboard, or that he doesn't scan the horizon religiously but is relying on
radar almost entirely (which thus far is working quite well) is my "ribbing" him. But if one were to take that too seriously, they might find my last statement contradictory, that being that the ocean is large place with room enough for all types. Alas, contradiction is the nature I think in all things... I digress.
