Without being an expert in english.. Now you sound condescending <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

To be very serious and speaking generally, we all need to think about how we express our opinions and views. As our class grows more and more people comes to the forum. The forum might be the only contact many have with the class. If we want to make our class (and the forum) attractive, we must try not to offend or make our class look like it is filled with buffoons. Condescending, talking down other classes/boats/sailors etc. reflects poorly on ourself.
This is not directed at any post in this thread, but generally speaking.
