Ever seen the movie ,Cybil ?


Yep. Not a very good movie IMHO, but an interesting

concept.

As for this theory that one "plays a character" on usenet,
there's somebody else around here who has the same
philosophy.... hmmm who could it be...


Makes you wonder why he would go out of his way to be such
an asshole , then claim to be a nice guy in ''real life''.

Scotty,
I wouldn't say I was getting trashed in the other newsgroup, but only a few
gave me any benefit of the doubt. A few thought I was "all wet" for
expecting to hand over cash from my home equity loan to pay off someone
else's loan who didn't want to get a home equity loan to pay off his own
loan. Others thought I must be sinister and was up to no good - showing up
with cash like that! Imagine advising the seller to "use caution here" -
Christ almighty - I have f***ing cash and I wanted a title!! Anyway, I
didn't want to jump into the fray over there, and I have to say it was nice
of Charlie, whoever he really is, to speak up in my defense. I may not care
at the moment what some folks there think of me, but if I buy the Seaward, I
wouldn't mind posting and hanging there from time to time. Since they seem
to know Charlie, they at least listened to him and he gave my version of the
incident. I appreciate that even if the Seaward group didn't want to hear
what he had to say. I guess it's easier to believe the new guy is evil, or a
jerk. I don't know the whole story on the keel being ripped off the boat,
but I have to say again, thanks Charlie for helping me get that info. The
keel may have been repaired, but what other structural damage may have
resulted from the whack that boat took.
Anyway, if I get the boat I'll be in touch. Is there a ramp at your boat
club/marina? I'm gonna need someone to show me around the Chessy! )
