Re: may the wind be always at your back

[David A Johnston <davejohn@POGO.WV.TEK.COM>]

  To be perfectly honest, I don't think this saying has much to do with
sailing.  Yes, it may have started there, but it wouldn't have gained such
wide usage if it didn't appeal to the human spirit.  I think that it
caught on because of the idea of the thing.  With the wind at your back
it's easier going in almost any circumstances.  This is common sense.
