Chuck,
I find your comments to be as accurate and as well written as any I have
read in any boating magazine. Do you disagree with any statement I made
concerning the quid pro quo relationship between boat builders and boating
magazines?

Don't you believe it is in the best interest of those reading these reviews
and observations to understand that relationship?

I for one hope you keep posting your articles, but let's be honest, they are
PR pieces for the builders, they are not unbiased discussions about the
merits of the boat.

I'm glad you enjoyed the description of the boat, Ed.

In a perfect world, people who disagreed with my comments would express
that disagreement
based on their own personal knowledge or research. I guess the lazy
approach is to just go directly to personal attack, and it works pretty
well for folks with no knowledge upon which to base a factual rebuttal.
My observations about various boats aren't going to be well received
by a couple of folks here, but that doesn't stop me from offering them
for the benefit of folks like yourself who say they enjoy them. (I
don't write any of them specifically for the NG, so there's investment
of additional time to post them here)
