Rick, I can understand your (and most peoples') concerns with SA. I usually hang out in the gentler parts, like Cruising Anarchy and Fix-it Anarchy, where there is some mutual respect. It's a lot different from the clowns in Sailing Anarchy and the participants police it pretty well. And of course, like Peter said, that isn't real anarchy, it's a bunch of wannabes who drink too much and have way too much attitude. If it was real anarchy, it would be scary.
