Matt, Matt, Matt! Where's your sense of humor!? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I didn't take the intent as mean spirited. Even if it is, remember the advertising addage, "I don't care if you love or hate me, just don't forget me!"
IMHO, anything that generates interest is good for the class.
Just because you put a smiley face on the end of a message does not mean you get to say whatever you want and it is funny. I figured it should be a joke, but failed to find the humor.
Now, it is funny that the NO NAME sailors are beating you to the finish line at half the cost and getting to share it with their friends. Maybe you could make a friend out of carbon fiber to make the hours of practice more enjoyable. Have fun at the sausage party after the race. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Is that what you were looking for?? Listen, I don’t see how that thread title on a major catsailing message board could do anything positive for the class or catsailing in general.
