Smithers using the "Starbuck" handle besmirches the name of the first
mate aboard the Pequod, Captain Ahab's ship in Moby-Dick. The literary
Starbuck was a man of integrity and honor. The one who plagues rec.boats
is a piece of crap.



I recently learned that Moby-Dick was a literary flop when it was first
published. It took over 40 years to be discovered.
