Looks like a boat owned by your everyday typical moron.


Can't even apply

the registration numbers with the proper spacing. Nothing


says stupid

and inattentive louder than mis-applied registration


numbers.


Nothing says 'jealousy' louder than this post.

It don't mean nothing, Scotty.
I've seen the stuff he posts.

Just consider the source and ignore him.



Yes, that's the solution. Just ignore it when you're confronted with
being incapable of following simple instructions. Maybe if you paid
attention instead of ignoring instructions you would not look so
stupid by virtue of resulting erroneous actions.

Wilber,

Those numbers were on there 20 years before I bought her.

And how hard is it to scrape them off and do it right? Doesn't your boat
which looks pretty good otherwise deserve to have registration numbers
put on correctly?



She was in pretty sad shape when I got her. Rigging all kinked and
broken, filthy dirty, rudder pintles broken off, and some parts
missing. But the hull and deck were sound. I've spent most of last
year getting her in reasonable shape.

You did a pretty good job. She looks great except for the registration
numbers which look like an idiot put them on. Since you are not the
idiot who put them on why continue the idiocy by leaving them that way?

At the end of this season I'll pull her out and paint the hull.
At that time I will replace the numbers - but for now I'm going
to enjoy sailing her - as is.

I would be ashamed to be seen in a sailboat with crap registration
number placement. If you can't afford new numbers and letters with the
correct spacing even if you're going to scrape them off the end of the
season when you paint it then you are just one of the masses who
demonstrate by their actions that they have little pride in what they
do.

If you don't like it, well, tough!

And, if you don't like being criticized then straighten out the
stupidity on your boat.



Now take your hateful self-serving attitude somewhere else.

No. I take it where I choose to take it. It's still a free Usenet the
last time I looked.

Because even if you are right about something, your attitude
is such a turn off that NOBODY is going to listen to you.

That makes you look all the sadder. Refusing to take action to make
legal (you can be ticketed for improper registration numbers) and make
respectable what you sail just because your temper gets in the way is
childish and not worthy of a sailor. Grow up. If the criticism is
invalid that's one thing. But valid criticism is to be taken to heart.
