I'll probably start a flame war but I'll ask a question anyway. I've
crossed words with Harry K a few times the past few days and I am
always curious about ppl I talk to. So, what region of the country are
you in Harry? Do you sail or power boat. Retired, working,profession?
Basically I am just curious.

In exchange, I'll reveal I am a psuedo-sailor (28' S2) who lives in N.
FL, educated redneck physicist hi-tek entrepreneur. My real obsession
is x-ray optics but sometimes I pretend to sail my boat and sometimes I
really sail my homebuilt MiniCups.

Two questions:

1 - What's a Minicup?

2 - X-ray optics huh? Kewl. For like what - medical, non-destructive
test - that sort of thing?

By the by, like most people here, with one or two exceptions, Harry is
a good person - opinionated of course, but then most of us are.

The personal exchanges you see here from time to time are based on the
contempt theme - as in familiarity breeds, etc. :)

Harry info: ??

Can't agree that a person whose goal in life seems to be the spreading of
hate
is a 'good' person. Perhaps you've met and talked to him longer than I
have.

I have no reason to think otherwise John. I don't agree with
everything Harry does and posts, but when the political stuff calms
down a little Harry is just like the rest of us - an engaging boater
with something to contribute.

We're all like that really - every one of us.

Like John, I also disagree.

We are not all like Krause.....hardly.

We do not stalk folks here who disagree with us. We don't post their
addresses. We don't post their wives name. We don't obtain pictures of
their houses. We don't make personal threats to them.

We don't lie about our lives. We don't lie about the boats we own(ed). We
don't lie about our wives education. We don't lie about our education. We
don't lie about helping the refugees. We don't constantly call folks who
disagree with us names or go out of our way to insult them.

Nope, we are not all like Harry Krause....and thank God for that.
