Geoff,
I generally ignore jaxie, but there are times when his misinformation does a
true disservice to the boating community. For instance, any lurker might
believe, or pass on, his false claim that citizen must always be onboard a
documented vessel. In fact, that was true a decade ago, so the claim has a
"ring of truth" to it. However, the law has been long changed. Anyone who
feels that this issue may be important to them, should check with the CG to
verify my claim.

While I agree with your assessment of jaxie, at least he mainly discusses
boating issues, so he's a big step above the idiots who flood other boating
forums with political nonsense.

Jeff,

You need to realize that you're driving this argument into the ground. I
believe that the only person that is taking any exception to this is
JAXhole. Just ignore him.

Better yet, place him into your kill file. You won't see any more posts
from him. Unfortunately people will quote him in their replies, but hey,
what can you do? I've kill filed him and haven't found the news group any
less useful. As a matter of a fact, it's better.

JAXhole has no concept of normal social dialog. His standard method of
discourse is to demean people over and over. No one needs that.
Unfortunately he's one of the breed of anonymous Internet posters who acts
this way. I googled the new groups and found that he's had over 2,200
posts in the last 6 months into sailing new groups. You can't have much of
a social or cruising life if you're spending that much time posting. Then
again, if his face to face interactions are as rude as his postings, who
would want to be around him?

So do yourself a favor and ignore the guy. Kill file him and end this
useless fight. You clearly have fact on your side.
