You're absolutely right. I'm embarrassed that I slipped to his level. It's
funny though... I have him killfiled, and I still see his posts since I need
to read other postings, in case something relevant is added to the thread.

I've only been around here for a couple of years, and it's clear who's worth
reading, and who's not. So far, I only have one fella KF'd. g

To get back on topic, what Bill say's is correct. I don't care what the "on
the record" response is from the authorities; It's far from reality. In the
Delta (I live in the bay area and boat there as well), there are countless
boats scattered along the shores... abandoned. There's over a thousand miles
of waterways in the Sac River Delta, so it's a problem. Some (as Bill says)
are big suckers, barges and such. It seems to me that if the authorities
were actively chasing down the owners, that part of the punishment would be
removal of the vessel. But they sit there... stripped of anything useful,
and most likely would sink if they weren't grounded. To me, it gives the
area some character... it's not like it's garbage floating in the water. In
many cases, they are landmarks (watermarks?) as well. It is easy to get lost
out there if you don't have a GPS, or know the area.

LOL! Ambiguity in the typewritten word. In case some folks didn't
understand the above. It did not mean thatI didn't get (understand) John
H's post, in fact I agree with it. It means, that I don't get why people
continue to argue with a rockpile like asskisser.

Me too, and I'm amazed that the guy is such a moron.
