OK Everyone, take two steps back.
It looks like I helped start this s**t fight and it's High Time it stopped!
Thomas, no offense taken. As I said, it's unfortunate you misinterpreted my post as being hostile and critical. My intent was exactly what (in the end) happened - spark your interest to learn. A questioning mind is fertile. Get a "jones" to learn about weather and soak up everything you can. Read, read, read... Use the internet as a learning resource. Talk with the local sailors (those that are still speaking to you - LOL) and pick their brains. Also consider that this is NOT Sailing Anarchy - 'nuff said.
If everyone wants to continue this thread and continue bashing, you run the risk of having this thread deleted - you've been warned three times now.
