Folks,

I went back and removed some material that was recently added to this thread.

As a general rule, Sailnet does not allow the posting of personal information about other members. It doesn't matter if that personal information is available on other public websites -- we don't host it here unless the member posts it themselves or gives express permission. The O.P. may have a page at some other social networking website, but you'll have to go there to see what it contains.

Also, this is a family oriented website. We try to avoid profanity/obscenities and other inappropriate content, such as (in this case) graphic descriptions of human or animal anatomy. So we ask that you keep that in mind when posting.

Thanks.

PS - Is the surfing in Chile all that?

Smack,

She already reported back on her experience, quite some time ago.

I actually post here very rarely now. I have decided I have plenty of cynicism and negativity to contend with in my real life, and I think given the choice I would actually prefer to be DS than a member of the Sailnet gallery.

I think this summer I am going to be out there on the water and in the sun guys , probably making mistakes that would bring choruses of SN disapproval....

Chall,

Painting with the broadstroke today?

In defense of Sailnet and its members, I'll point out that recently a half dozen or so pages have been added to this thread. Regardless of how one views it, the fact is this is an old thread and the bulk of it -- thirty some odd pages -- contains commentary largely by members who rarely or no longer post to Sailnet. So if you're referring to that material, not to worry -- unless you're a frequent visitor to the websites to which they've decamped.

Here's hoping you have a great summer of sailing. It would warm the hearts of those of us weathering northern hemisphere winter to hear about your adventures.

Hey Chall,

Let's make sure you and I post pics of us in bathing suits and swimming/basking in the sun about the middle of January. THat will warm their spirits, I am sure (evil laugh).

In all seriousness, John is right on target. Even Smack said it: Most of those people are gone anyways - although I would welcome their return as would everyone else if they wished it. But that is what a forum is: a place of opinions. Within reason, it does not make anyone's wrong/right, you just have to take them in stride. I also will come out and openly say that I do agree with many of the comments made. Those particular dogs are not a great choice for cruising. And just because you made it and got away with it does not make it the right decision or a good decision.

Of course, this is coming from a guy going cruising on a production boat and with a true bulldog... so who am I to speak!??? HEHE!

I enjoy having you around here and Sailnet would not be as good a place without you. Go have TDW buy you a drink or two. In fact, I know where his boat is moored and you can sneak aboard and get all you want for free....
