Default Your boat should reflect your status in life. . .

There are sailboats and there are sailboats. Your boat should be a

schmuck living in a double-wide in Pennsylvania then anything you
can come up with to sail I say more power to you. A working man has
to do what he can to get out on the water and should realize even an
unnoteworthy vessel is better than no vessel at all.

To anyone who hasn't realized it, Wilbur (or whoever he is) posted
the initial note trolling in an attempt to get a response from me
(the only lawyer on the ng who owns a MacGregor). Since I didn't take
the bait, he was stuck with all the indignant responses from everyone
else and more or less made an ass of himself. Sorry, Wilbur. -
Better luck next time


Once more. Does anyone doubt that Wilbur (or whoever he is) ended up
with responses he didn't anticipate, when his trolling didn't get the
response he was looking for, and when he ended up having to answer a
number of indignant responses from others participating in the
discussion.

You'll never make a decent troll. You don't have a clue about what
motivates a troll. The type of response matters little. As a matter of
fact, the more indignant the response the better. Trolls are puppet
masters. Not, that I claim to be one. I'm just a sailor who likes to
talk about sailing. And motoring around in a Mac26 is a far cry from
sailing. So, get off the group you big dope!
