Well a few of us have been doing just that. Maybe that is why there are so many wildly varying opiniuons of you

My list, snipped out from your post:
Grumplestilskin (poor stance in avatar, looks around the mast as if he's going into a DTL bottomturn but it is in fact flatwater AND the wrong tack)
Elmo (typical bloodnut)
Greenroom (missed him at work cos I was out sailing)
Mineral1 (I prefer vitamins)
lao shi (mmmmmm exotic. are you a shelia with ping pong balls?)
Snides (got nothin. Who is that)
25 (a/a)
bender (cool nick, famous mountainbiker from the Crusty Demons videos. Number 8 I think.)
Slowboat (wtf??? windsurfers are the fastest sailpowered vessels as usual)
Decrepit (cool boardbuilder. I need to borrow some 4mm divinycell about 300 x 500mm as mine is 700km away, can repay in a month, how about it decrep?)
Nebbian (reckoned he'd drop in on his way back from Gero but shied away from the hardcoredness that is G/H

)
Hardie (faster than me but just wait man.....)
Windy Miller (his ex missus goes off, nice of him to share, she has had a whuppin' from me lately)
Leech (ate chips with him in the drizzling rain at G/H. But he wasn't up for the Bundy (tsk tsk) )
