Default Yesterday's Sail

If you buy a burger at McDs, you're among millions who do so. And, I'm
guessing that 99% of the people are satisfied with the burger. But, that
doesn't say much for the quality of the meal.

You used to be emphatic the the 26M was a total redesign of the 26X, and
that no conclusion could be derived from the problems of the earlier
boats. Now you're lumping together every Mac ever made (and the Ventures)
and claiming that by their very numbers, they must be good.

Sure are. But when thousands of Mac owners obviously like their boats,
and when over 85% of 26M owners state that they would buy the boat again,
it strongly suggests that most Mac owners are happy with their boats.


Omigosh! I didn't realize it was that bad! You're saying that 15% of Mac
owners say it was a horrible blunder?
