With the valiant exceptions of a few, notably Bart Senior, Thom and Katy
(and a few others so don't feel slighted I just picked on those of us who
have been around the longest) the majority of .asa has denigrated into a
pale and for the most part useless comparison of it's glory days. The
sailing content is vastly overshadowed by insipid political commentary which
in itself is of no merit. Bart does a good job of holding his finger in
the dike but I fear the dike has ceased to exist around his finger.
Especially when any thread is routinely hijacked by the fringe loonies who
vie for the unattainable goal 'group leadership?' It takes more than
quantity to be a leader especially in a free society (does the word
unmoderated ring a bell?) For the majority of the spam propaganda posts
it's just Neal wannabes. He knew when to push a button or ring chimes or
zing in a barbed conversation starting content but the majority of it was
always about sailing. And you ain't Neal. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Recuerde SFO!
