This is starting to sound suspiciously Wilbur-esque.

There seem to be many who post here that don't own boats
but consider themselves experts. I can't figure that out..

You are quite right about that

I do like reading the postings though.. I've looked back and there
are some very good points, info.

Even by the famous, or is that infamour Hubbard. He seems to be the
most disliked,, yet some of his postings are very good. I think he
does this to get folks going..

Yes, he loves to do that. Unfortunately one has to be fairly experienced to
assess whether he is giving good information or just winding the group up
for his own amusement.
Also he posts under various names. Even 'Wilbur' is not his real name.

I don't plan on sailing around the world, not live on my boat.. but
I will do some cruising and live on the boat for a period of time..

Fair enough. Stick with the Group and in time the situation will become
clearer. There is actually some good information to be obtained here once
one has some experience of the various characters involved.
