Happy New Year...early

[RTB]

because, as any good sailor on a cold wintry night away from his boat I've had a few Budweisers and a bottle of Merlot. And because it's the holidays, the forums slow down a bit and I find myself reading through all of http://www.sailnet.com/forums/off-to...minto-com.html

After 9 months, and reading through all that was said, I still feel sadness. It is a shame that a bunch of people that love boats...sailing them, working on them, talking about them....can be so unkind toward one another. I believe that if we all met in person, we'd have a great time together...

I just wanted to say that you guys have a great forum, and there are some guys here I really respect. You guys keep up the great job, and have a Happy New Year!
