And what's the difference between "can't afford it" and "chose not to"?
The stupidest thing on earth is to threaten to beat somebody up over the
internet. The 2nd stupidest thing is bragging about how rich you are.

It may be that Glenn's expenditure on his boat represents a similar...
or smaller... portion of his wealth than your boatbuilding with cheapo
chain-store stuff represents of your overall wealth; if so this would
make him less profligate with his money than you are.

So why don't you chose the wiser course of not insulting others for
their choices?

I see, we've switched from rec.boats.profligate-spender to
rec.boats.divine-retribution and if you're going to burn a few witches,
why not wait until winter time when we need the heat anyway?




Unfortunately much of non-commercial boatbuilding is purely ostentatious
extravegance.


So there you go... you're just as wasteful & frivolous as Glenn...
better keep your head down, you may get struck by lightning any second
now...
