We used to have a couple of boat dealers who shared technical
information and even a mechanic here, and the latter published
articles
that demonstrated his knowledge. Their identities were known. They got
little here but insults from assholes like your good buddy, who hasn't
even the balls to do so with his identity known. He's a coward.

Bull. Back when rec.boats was a decent boating newsgroup Jim
contributed appropriately and respectfully. He shared his knowledge
and opinions in troubleshooting problems others were experiencing and
would also acknowledge when he was wrong. It's tough to define a
problem remotely and not everyone can do it.

It's only when this newsgroup started heading for the crapper that his
tone changed. I think he's here now for the entertainment value,
like you.

Oh. Respect. This is a trash newsgroup, and is not a place I'd come to
for "respect."

That has become obvious.
