Enough already. You've beat it to death.

Harry,
Considering some of the conversations that get bet to death, I thought
this was better than most. I am doing my best to keep it on topic
without any personal attacks, and have ignored yours and JimH's barbs,
because it looks like this is something that is relevant to everyone who
boats. Why does it bother you to discuss the idea of using mechanics
you can trust and when it makes sense to cut your loses and find a new
mechanic?



Because the topic of this thread is removing waterline scum. Got it?


Isn't this a conversation that can be kicked around without the name
calling?


No one has called you names. What you were accused of is having no
boat, no boating experience and harping on something that was a dead
issue (with you) days ago.

If you want to start a thread about mechanics be my guest. But this
thread has absolutely nothing to do with that subject.

Every regular here has at one time or another posted pictures of their
boats, talked about their boats and their boating experiences. You
have *never* done so. I cannot think of one other regular here who is
in your company.....not one. You have even made it a point to keep
even your first name a secret *Reginald*.

You have chosen to be secretive about everything in your life. That
is certainly your choice, but learn to live with the consequences by
doing so.

And please stop the whining and the "who, me?" routine........it is
getting old.


Gosh, JimH. You're assuming an awful lot there, don't you know.

Would it be better if Reggie said he owned a 36'er and talked about all the
'trips' he'd taken? Would that make him more believable?


That would move him/her a couple of steps up the credibility ladder.



From the advice he's given, just to you, I'd say he's had more experience
with boats than either you or me.


ROTFLMAO!!!!!!



Why not discuss the advice itself,
instead of throwing acrimonious insults around?


If telling someone that I would never consider any of his/her advice
based on the fact that he/she has never posted any personal experiences
about his/her boat and boating experiences then I guess I am guilty of
"throwing acrimonious insults around".

In my eyes, he/she has absolutely no credibility.
