Why start new threads when this should sit in your Russophobia thread?

 :ROFL:

It rather depends on Manny, not me..

HE must think it's not 'Russophobic' or someone else 'passed' it .. 

It's a fact and I personally know RU sailors that have given their all to compete with the best in Tokyo...  I don't want things like this to ruin their dreams

I appreciate that your mind works differently to most normal folks but what you can and cant do isn't up to Manny. As an old man, you can make decisions yourself and be held accountable for it later.

Mind you, you're all for government control and being told when you can and cant leave your house, so what hope do you have.

As an observation and more a personal choice I prefer not to start new threads. My opinion there often are good observations made in an existing older thread.

This new one being an example. Yes the existing thread is over 180 days old, but one can always revive it. Yes one has to search for it and some are lazy. But the existing thread will have some depth.

You mean all my posts end up where I post them ( if at all ) and my signature is 'mine'? ...  :chuckle:
