Chip(Anode) posted this a while back. Since purchasing a copy for myself I find Fred much easier to understand...

Just kidding Fred

We all gotta get real jobs or more hobbies

If you think it’s hard to decipher Fred here, you should read his old posts on the T&T unformatted plain text mailing list.

Even if you disagree with Freds’ advice, as I often do, I believe his heart is in the right place,

He really does want to help fellow boaters. And often he is right.

Also remember this - as Tom Wolfe says in the book “The Right Stuff” he has faced that “cold gray slab of steel that all naval aviators face.” I could never have done that.

I realize this thread is in fun, and that no harm is meant. Just sayin’.

Communicating is a skill. If people can't understand what you are trying to say, there's little point in saying it.
