Indeed. Good idea to try saving a few bucks. But your credibility
suffered when you claimed to "save half" by using 25% less. I didn't
judge you by your name, but by what you wrote ...

"Bottom Paint Half Price" is a variation on a typical advert slogan in the
US. It is not nor was it ever intended to be used as an arithmetic formula.
Your taking this title literally implies either that hyperbole is unknown in
the British Isles, which is unlikely, or that your own irony antennae could
stand a tune-up.

Incidentally I don't cross-post without a good reason, and this thread is
not one that I would have chosen for such treatment. Somewhere along the
way this was cross-posted to u.r.s without my noticing. When you replied
the "flavoUr" of your response required that I continue the cross-posts. I
am sure that many readers at u.r.s have found this discussion less than
enthralling.

While this has been a pleasant if somewhat overdone discourse, I am not sure
that either of us would consider the meandering nature of this part of the
thread as particularly useful or enlightening. That aside, enjoy your
sailing, old sport.
