About 25% of Sailing Anarchy is a cesspool, that's for sure. Honestly, I think that's down from the worst of it, maybe 6=7 years ago when I just quit writing there. However, the informed and helpful response to my rudder thread over there was a big surprise. There are good, helpful folks at SA. I think the worst of it is in the ongoing "bash" threads in General Anarchy, like the threads on Rimas...Dimas, whatever his name is. I didn'nt write at SA for years and years. Now I'm back, mostly in the more-polite Cruising forum.
Pressure Drop has seemed pretty gentlemanly to me, but it's awfully quiet.
Pat, I'd hate to see you disappear from the SSS forum. I'd really hate to see that happen. Stick around, we all could use seeing what you have to say. I think that Jackies howler monkey picture was a jest, not mean-spirited. She's just not like that! Sometimes here on-line the nuances of our attempts at humour fall flat.
