Mike,
I apologize for the jab back, as it was in response for the comment about " seperate the men from the boys", which, I felt was a slam at anyone that didn’t want to form a new “club”.
I will ignore anymore comments, but don’t understand why those that want to form a new club, just do it, and quit “spamming” this board to join the new one.
I’m glad that, for the most part, it has returned to the previous format.
Cheers!
Tom

thomas,Luckily my english is not good enough to read any irony in your remarks. If you don’t mind I stick around here too, I’d rather discuss smelly bilges, exploding holding tanks or leaking portholes than club names or contribution fees.Regards, Michel a.k.a.
