OK, Bill, while you continue to go after and try to insult K, perhaps it
time for you to answer one question. Karen warned this NG about Ficht
problems *before* the collapse and bankruptcy of OMC. You were spruiking
OMC and Ficht throughout her warnings. Thousands were hurt in the Ficht
debacle. Is it not time for you to come clean and apologize to all those
folks you led astray?

Skipper,

Don't you think she should apologize for trying to "hoodwink" people who
read her posts?

There is an old saying, that goes, "Never bet on a "nag" in a thoroughbred
horserace". Don't you think that is appropriate in this situation???

Actually, in light of the Ficht debacle and your actions in encouraging
folks to buy these troubled engines, indeed, I believe an apology is in
order. Thousands were hurt, Bill.

"Thousands were hurt?" Are you kidding? This group is a couple of dozen
guys who sit around gabbing among themselves. Supposed to be about
boats. Only if everybody ran out and bought a 75 engines apiece were
"thousands" ever hurt, and we regularly hear from owners of these
engines who have been satisfied all along. Obviously there are
differences of opinion on this issue, and those are best resolved by
examining facts rather than calling for people of he opposing stripe to
"apologize". It probably would have been useful for Karen to disclose
that the article was written in 2003, rather than "just before your
season's starting....", but let's give her the benefit of the doubt.
Something published in the US in 2003 may just now be showing up as a
reprint in an Australian boating magazine. BTW, how does this concern
you? You don't own anything upon which to mount an outboard of any
variety
