GordMay, I owe you guys an apology also. Your responses are always good and my outburst could be attributed to my own personal mood at the time.

I have seen too many instances when responders have put down a questioner because the terminology used was incorrect. I may have been guilty myself, but I now try to subtly try to use the correct term incidentally in my answer, rather than making a point of the questioners ignorance on the subject. I know it is normally not done maliciously but it can be intimidating to a new sailor.

You do give good responses however, so please keep it up.
