come about that a few selfish people are ruining cruising for all

The ones that put out a megawatt or more don't make all that much
noise and are not particularly obnoxious. Low RPM, they make kind of a
swishing sound. Too bad they weigh fifty tons and up. We have 600 of
the big ones here in Iowa, and as far as I know, none of the little
ones you object to. I have seen pix of the ones you refer to.
