Most places I work, the RC is a bunch of local volunteers. As in, they speak east/west/north/south; which is great, unless you travel around like I do, and can't keep track of what day it is, never mind where north is (even though I'm looking at a compass all day long)...

That, and sometimes, they don't understand "upwind..."

Anyway, I started going through that old thread. After page 2 or 3, it just got monotonous. P/S, W/L gets you through most situations; when in doubt, watch where you're going, who is coming at you, and avoid collisions.

I don't have words for people who can't see past their spinnakers. Yes I do, put it away or go home before you kill someone.
