<snipped sincere and amusing rant>

Damning with faint praise or praising with faint damnation? I'm flattered...... Greenheads don't show up for a month at my beach. Will report they bite like a mofo and are possibly the slowest flys in the East next to a -FoonFly (don't bother me)

as I said before, Drifty don't ever change. But this was choice flamage! good vintage, sweet aroma with a bit of a bitter aftertaste.

And one more thing... if I catch you on here again, I'll bitch-slap you so hard your mom will feel it.

I thought Buddy handily put down Eric Burch a couple years ago. Old news.

And that was a really lame troll attempt. I'm at a loss for words with how stupid that sounded.

Hey, what if you contributed some surf content? Flames and trolls don't count. At least Burch and myself are trying to push out stories about surfing. And if you don't want to read it, just don't read it.

He did: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3A7081ED.BBF93A0B% 40yahoo.com

But it didn't stop him, did it? Eric went on that same month to create Clay, followed by the 20+' drop... in fact all the things Reg mentioned came after Bud's wonderful 'talking out your ass' slam.

Think of it like playing whack-a-mole, or pulling weeds.

Yeah, he needs to stay focused, it's diluting his message.

Sully put it better last week.

Hey, I played Whack-A-Mole at a fair a few weeks ago, and today I was pulling weeds in my backyard garden!!! How's that for a coincidence?!?!

He has a hard time saying 'I love you'.

The recent output of surf content was a pleasant change. Perhaps the real reason for lack of surf content is a lack of surfing. The one part of the flame that rang true to me was the part about the challenges of 2xO and greater surf, although I get the feeling he hasn't surfed over coral reef. If he had he wouldn't think it offers protection. Big waves over shallow, sharp reef - caught inside - is surf Hell. Coral cuts and scrapes are last forever. And if he thinks Washington State has rocks he should try surfing the Big Island.

Aloha,

Perhaps you should pay more attention, Neal:

BTW, unlike Eric's posts, it isn't fiction. As for you: the jury is still out on some of your stuff. Re-read my so-called 'flame' of you, and consider it constructive criticism. Oh wait, I guesss you already do. Witness the more detailed decription of your magic longboard.

Yea. 'it's all about the points'.

I guess it is when you don't surf that often and when you do, you are so out of shape that it's hard to even catch a wave.

How's that oregon surf treatin ya, cupcake?

Yeah, it is, but that's not the part I was thinking of... it was: 'Eventually the totality of your 're: ' posts are going to get ignored when AS figures out you're not somebody they know.' Get the point?

Let me point out that when Sully says 'it's all about the points' he's merely talking about a web of trust.

What's your point?

That doesn't make any sense either. That would imply that it's a closed NG.

I'm wondering how that oregon surf is treating you... cupcake.

Would you like me to put that in academia speak?
