Such a tale wouldn't begin to compare with the story of a guy who
lived in Florida, posted to rec.boats, and claimed to own a very fancy
Hatteras.
Several posters in that era expressed serious doubt regarding the
veracity of the claim, and when challenged to "come down anytime you
like and see for yourself!", one did.
As I recall, when he tracked down the address of the only person with
the appropriate name living in the little town where the poster with
the supposed Hatteras claimed to reside, he encountered an extremely
humble dwelling in a portion of town where folks of less-than-moderate
means were known to live.

Are you on drugs now? The last two, no, three times "my address" was
"discovered" by rec.boaters, they had me in Jacksonville (where I didn't
live), somewhere in Alexandria, VA (where I didn't live), and somewhere
in a Maryland suburb (where I've never even visited). This is kind of
humorous, because I'm "in the phone book."
You're really trying, Chuckster. Perhaps you ought to stick to spamming
this newsgroup and netcopping. You do better at both of those. How about
a nice visit to the Bayliner factory, where you can discover the latest
techniques in building "price" boats?
