BUT, I have noticed this for some time (No offence Mary) If things are quiet on the forum, business being business, Mary will start a thread to get the numbers up, "What's the deal with the F Word", Sailing for absolutely everybody", "How many regattas...", "Why have a multihull..", etc. As we say in Ireland, "More power tcha Mary"
Thank you, Dermot. I have occasionally done that, but it never occurred to me that it had anything to do with business. It is just that sometimes the forum gets boring to me with all the techno-talk. You guys apparently don't want women on the forum -- but I do. So sometimes I try to come up with topics of more general interest.
In the case of the sailing video, a friend from Ohio sent it to me, and I couldn't remember if I had seen it on the forum, so I just thought I would share it. Sorry.
In the case of the F word thread, I just felt the need to vent about it. And from reading the responses on this thread, I think some men don't realize that many women (at least all the women I know) consider the word to mean rape. It is a term that suggests violence, usually against women.
