my original idea was to get you guys to tell me who the experts were so I could save time by reading their posts, and avoid the newbies like me.

I love the outcome of my thread. Thnks

So who are they??

The first time you asked resulted in a thirteen page response. You think asking again is going to net you something more salient? LOL

Newbies can teach you as well. In fact if your just starting out, it would be better to listen to those who aren't to far ahead of you. With some of us, you could ask for the time, and be told how to build a watch. Sailing is like most other thing, you never stop learning and growing, your understanding of the sport just goes deeper and deeper. Because of this, you sometimes want to be careful who you ask. You might need a simple answer to get you back on the water, and get a long debate that leaves you so confused, that you could begin to dispare ever achieving a decent skill level. So listen to the newbies, I been a professional sailor, and now have owned numerous boats and I still listen to the newbies. Still learn a thing or two from them as well.

Look at the rep power numbers...higher numbers mean more repugnant posts...lower numbers are better.

They put your one rep in
they take your one rep out
they put your one rep in

You do the hoky poky
and you turn your self around
thats what it's all about.

So, with a (current) rep power of 10, you are not to be believed. But you say you are not to be believed, therefor you are to be believed. But if you're to be believed, and you say people with high rep powers are not to be believed, then you shouldn't be believed. But if you shouldn't be believed, then what you say about people with high rep powers not being believable is not to be believed. Therefor you should... be... believed. But... if... you're to be... believed...., and you say people with high rep powers shouldn't... be... ... believed, and... you... have... a high rep power...

Aghhh! And there's the problem laddie. Y'see me boy, the point of the forum is that you ask a stupid question, and we's all get to make fun of ya. Fact o matter is, we all be experts, some more expertest than others. So post's yer question, and don'ts ask who to asks, as the one who answers mays not be the ones bests to be ask'in upon.
