Three?
A conspiracy theory alleges a coordinated group is and/or was secretly working together to commit illegal or wrongful actions including hiding the existence of the group and its activities. In notable cases the hypothesis contradicts what was or is represented as the mainstream explanation for historical or current events.
I may be crazy, but still well read and literate.
Paranoia is a totally new discussion though...
Yes I live in the the good old USA. I am a replublican actually.. Like I said earlier. This post caught me at a bored moment and served as my self-indulgent entertainment today.
Wheels I truly do appreciate everything you and the gang do. Anyone else offended... relax!!!

Maybe I am paranoid. Do you want my address?

I always thought the definition of a conspiracy required three or more people.

Why do the most interesting threads have nothing to do with cruising, boating, the sea etc.

Maybe you're on the wrong Forum then. It's the opposite way around for me.

No only are we drifting from our mission; but some of us are just plain wrong.
It only takes two to tango, and/or to conspire.
By contrast, it only takes one Mod’ to quarantine.

And still, I don't understand why the survey was pulled. I continue to think it has merit and violates no rules of the forum. It is of little concern whether it was the action of a single admin or a committee decision. Paranoia plays not part.
Thread drift seams to have hijacked the question.

Sorry Wheels, I forgot to put "my tongue is firmly in my cheek" when I posted. I guess I was just making an sarcastic comment as there were a couple of pages of posts that hardly mentioned any cruising aspect.
Perhaps a case of bad Western Oz humour - my bad manners getting the better of me. I'll shout you a good Margaret River Red on the Swan river if you are ever over here.

I guilty here also so it's bottle of red for Sunspot too.
Seriously I am also interested in knowing when / where you poll is going to show up.

It's not just because it is your survey, nor because of the topic. It created some discussion we have been working on for awhile in the background and unfortunately your post has become the center of working the details. it's been a good guinea pig for us. I hope when we release it, it won't be more like Frankenstien, but more like a better looking Guinea pig. We are have recognised that polls are important to you all. So we are going to make it even better and easier. So I am not going to steal the scene from the others. Please wait and you will see soon.

OK, I'll wait for the bolt of lightning and the cry of "IT'S ALIVE."
