Harry,
For years you made hundreds of posts stating Chuck was a class act and
one of the most important contributor to rec.boats. You viewed as on of
your best friends in rec.boats, and you always wanted to meet him in
real life. Just because you disagree on an issue does not change who
or what he is.

Chuck is the same person today as he has been since he first started
posting in rec.boats. He is a very well read, very articulate, informed
boater who probably spends more time using his boat than most of the
regulars in rec.boats combined. He can be very opinionated on certain
subjects, but so are 90% of the regulars. For the past 6 months, he has
gone out of his way to stay away from inflammatory posts because he
observed rec.boats had become a flame fest with very few on topic posts.
Since then he had tried to encourage on topic posts and encourage others
to stay away form inflamatory topics, while we are far from perfect,
rec.boats is a better boating forum today, than it was 8 months ago.
As a boater, you really should thank him for contributing to a better NG
to discuss and read boating topics.
