Default It isn't fair. How about posthumous knighthood for Eric Hiscock.

If you write technical stuff you probably don't need a writing course
as the reader is mainly interested in the methods, facts, etc. related
and there is no need to dev elope a story line. I cut a good example
out of Practical Boatowner, and saved it. How to make an anchor. All
the dimensions and angles and just a little on how we cut and welded
it, and a closing paragraph telling the reader that once we built our
new anchor out(sic) anchoring problems disappeared.
Cheers,

Bruce




Any old anchor works just ducky-keen on deck at a dock, Bruce.

Nice one Willie-boy. And as about as accurate as the comment you made
in another post about having to use an inert gas when welding
stainless steel, when in fact anyone can weld stainless perfectly well
using a, common as dirt, arc welder. Want to argue? Try reading the
Internet

And now, of course, you are going to do your usual buck and wing and
say that you didn't say that; you meant something else; anything
except the truth that as usual you were playing the part of an expert
when you didn't have a clue about what you were talking about.

Cheers,

Bruce
