Not a thing.

I just can't understand why you wish to start the day that way.
Reggie has
always been very gentlemanly towards you, even when he's caught you
in some
of your more blatant 'misstatements'. He doesn't call you names, and
treats
you with appropriate respect.

He's also quite knowledgeable about boats and photography. He's even
given
you several valuable tips with regards to both.
In fact, you may want to change your signature to be more in line
with how
you should feel.

I cannot recall one useful tip from Reggie about anything. He did
offer up one in the last week about a remote photo shutter device,
but when I asked a few photographers who use and are still using the
device, it turned out Reggie's advice was wrong on that, too.

Boating tips from Reggie? Surely you jest.

I say, ESAD, Reggie. The sooner the better.

Have a nice day, John.
By the way, who or what is ESAD?


It is the sign of a man who is afraid to state publicly how he feels
about you. He needs to use childish Internet Messaging vocabulary.


The etymology of ESAD as an expression has nothing to do with Internet
Messaging, and in fact predates it by many decades.

You cannot accuse me of being afraid to state publicly how I feel about
any number of posters here. Not only that, but unlike some, I have no
fear about using my real name.

Harry, you are not displaying an attitude which would invite friendship.

BTW, what do you find cowardly about using an alias, boater, HK, a boater,
etc.
