In a thread seriously adrift from its original discussion, Wilbur
postulated:
If a motor vessel is drifting with its motor not running is it
"Underway" or "Making Way" and is it still a vessel propelled by
machenery?
Sorry, Skippy, but you need to re-tune your filters so you won't be so
chronically confused. I did not write the above but I did write the rebuttal
you copied and pasted below.

Sorry, but the correct term is "under way, not making way." If the
motors
are not running and it is not anchored then the vessel is said to be
"adrift."

Sorry, Wilbur, but you need to review the way usenet attributes stuff.
Nowhere did you see anything like

However, you either intentionally or stupidly overlooked, ignored, or
simply missed, in your haste to discredit me,
*Sorry, but the correct term is "under way, not making way." If the

Any cretin would have understood that, without a leading attribution,
the parts with the carats was someone else speaking, and, given my
lead-in, that the part which had "(end Wilbur)" under it referred to
*your* part of a snipped posting.
And, furthermore, you misattributed your rebuttal, citing the entire
posting I'd shown with the prior poster, remaining nameless, and your
rejoinder. Or, perhaps, it was you in both cases??
And, here, I was looking forward to your erudition on all these
terms. My bad.
