for many years and have never encountered a poster who
had business dealings with Chuck that were anything but honorable.

Harry,
You can say the exact same thing about everyone in rec.boats.

Chuck has stated his only business dealings with anyone in rec.boats was
Dave, so except for Dave, Chuck has no business dealings with anyone in
rec.boats.

I still think Chuck would prefer if you do not give him your endorsement.
