How "off topic" can a thread be?

I've got a question regarding people that I see sailing. And was wondering how I could post a thread that wouldn't get people really ticked off.

My threads on Living aboard and Sex and Unions are ones I didn't think were asked or "put out there" before.

I've got another one though.

You can PM a mod if you are that concerned.

You'd probably have to have an out of body experience for that to happen.

Here's a novel idea...post an ON-TOPIC question!!!!! Post a question about sailing On a sailing site!!!!

Course you'd probably have to have SOME idea about what sailing is to formulate a sailing related question. never mind.

Funny how someone who very recently said they were looking for there very first sailboat, is calling out a longtime member about being able to sail... GTFO!
