You guys have ben having all the fun while I was away...so here's my .02...
Who the heck are you, Christian?
Did you introduce yourself to us before butting in & telling us how to behave? Not nice manners. Even our quasi-European Chris has better manners (that was a joke, Chris! ;^) This is a loose group, but we DO have manners, sort of......
I thought it was hilarious, and as a 'victim' of many 'short' and 'wop' jokes, I've learned that if ya can't laugh at yourself, you've got a problem. I do it everyday when look in the mirror. good practice for being out in public.

Bob,
As a European, I find this posting offensive. Besides, as this is a blog 
for R22 owners, I strongly believe it would be nice to keep restrict 
this nice communication tool to matters related to sailing and Rhodes22 
technical tips and questions. There is no need to add further trash to 
the irritating flow of spam on e-mails.

> The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

> Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides.” The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."

> Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is canceled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
