Roger,

That post was not spoofed, it was posted by Don White. Don likes to imitate
his good buddy Harry Krause, trolling for OT political posts.

The tone of this post is the normal tone for Don and Harry.

Proud of yourself? You started a flamefest in rec.boats that now numbers
43
posts. Do you get a warm and fuzzy feeling that troublemakers like you
just
love?

I think you are pretty damn ignorrant and owe an apology for starting this
mess.

The Picton Castle left Lunenburg, Nova Scotia yesterday for an around
the world sail. Even the Hollywood crowd was represented..with Billy
Campbell ('The OC') willing to fork over $ 36K US for the 13 month
voyage. I'm betting this voyage could make men out of the motley rabble
who are infesting and hijacking this newsgroup.

He does not post this way in rec.boats.cruising. Sorry, I don't read
rec.boats so don't know if this is true or not.

Out of curiosity, I did download some of the rec.boat headers today and
sorted by Don White. He does seem to take on an obnoxious tone in
rec.boats
if it is really him. i didn't bother to check the headers.

I would hate to think it is he. Seems to me if what you say is true and if
Don White actually wrote it, he does need to apologize. But then again,
from
what I read, there is a lot of spoofing going on in rec.boats so it may
have
been an imposter.
