You seem obsessed with him. Can you tell me why without going into a
rant?
I
assure you I'm not Harry, an understudy, nor do I even know him. I'm
assuming he's not even using his real name. I'm certainly not (I hope
that's
obvious).

The subject was you, not Harry. There's no obsession involved, but
it's a cute attempt to change the focus.


I thought I was Harry? Hmmm... you're not still confused, apparently,
but
a
cute attempt to claim no obsession with me either.

plum, you and Harry share several traits, one of which is the
quickness with which you accuse others of being 'obsessed'.

You make a tremendous number of posts and if two or three are
answered, then the responder is 'obsessed' with you.

Usually, as in the case of Harry, those who accuse others of being
obsessed are quite obsessed with themselves. There's a name for that.

'I went to Google looking for boating groups' - right. Tell us about
your boat or the one you're thinking of buying.


Name is Em.

So, because two people who've never met and who don't know each other have
a
couple of common traits that means we're the same person or it's a
conspiracy? You're the one who plonked me, then changed your mind. Don't
know if you're obsessed or not. Don't really care, as long as you don't
show
up on my doorstep.

I don't think I make anywhere near the number of many others here. Feel
free
to do a count and let us know who's the most prolific.

I don't think I'm obsessed with myself any more than anyone else is with
themself.

I didn't say I went to google, I said Outlook. I looked under news, and
typed in boats. I'm not thinking of buying a boat, nor do I currently own
one. I told someone that I used to own a Hobie (part owner). Do I need to
take a boating test before I get to post here? Did you take one?

Herring thinks senority applies to newsgroups and you should submit to
his questioning. It's an example of the advanced degradation of his
brain or that he never possessed the ability to comport himself in an
appropriate manner for the situation.

As you've noticed, we don't give one another much room in rec.boats.
The past several elections and wars have offered plenty of opportunity
for folks to self-identify. Herring shows up as ex-military who hates
government but has made his entire living off government-run agencies.

You seem like an upright, honest person who's willing to engage all. I
admire that in anyone but rec.boats may require a more guarded
approach. Some of these idiots will use any shred of information to
claw for a foothold.

I hope you get some satisfaction from the exchanges. Please protect
yourself so you don't burn out. Your voice is a welcome one.


Mostly honest. And, they can keep their feet to themselves. Sorry Joan
Rivers.
