That's just it. I didn't single you out yet you felt compelled to
retaliate.
Take one step back and get a broader perspective. Who has done all the
name calling so far in this thread? ("snark" "a**hole" "netcop", etc)
First clue- it isn't me. :-)


My comment was on your general snottiness and snarkiness. I'm not
concerned whether you "single" me or anyone else out. Several posters
here, more than several, actually, have watched your devolution with
some sadness, and a few have commented on it. It's hard to believe that
you don't see yourself engaging in the precise sort of behavior for
which you castigate others. That you may or may not name names in a
particular post is not relevant, nor is the language you or others use.

brings people together." George W. Bush


I think the difference is snarkyness compared to downright vulgarity
and intelligent banter as opposed to downright juvenile behavior.
Anyway, to keep this on track, back in the early 80's when big wooden
boats were a dime a dozen, and most of my friends could not afford to
take them out of the slip we used to say, the smaller the boat, the
more boating you get out of it. I must admit I get a little ticked off
when some old snot looks down his nose at my boat and crew. Just don't
get it, some of them. That video is what boating is all about, period.
I think folks should try to find the positive in all posts, take from
the group what they can, and not ideology get in the way of a good
time.
