Appreciate the detailed explanation, K. What I don't understand is why
Bill continues spruiking for these companies when so many folks have
been hurt by folks like him saying, "what, me worry." I honestly think
he doesn't understand that he'd get even more respect if he'd come clean
about Ficht & E-Tec.

Skip, you give him credit as a normal human, he's not. he's a dealer:-)
Even when the Fichts were ruining countless peoples' pleasure time he
was still claiming all was well with them.

I know, and will never under why he couldn't admit the truth.

After OMC went bankrupt along with the silly warranty cover they sold, we
don't know what Willy had to say, for he ran away:-)

It's all in the Google archives. A truly sad episode for a respected
industry pro. He should have climbed above his loyalty to these
manufacturers, for it is the public that he ultimately serves.

As for the NG it's at least not as political & their childish posts
about OT toys is better than before.

But their intelligence level is so damn low. I wouldn't mind that they
don't know boats and boating if they weren't so damn intellectually
slow.
