I don't recall seeing *one* post of his here that demonstrated a
*high*
level of knowledge of any boating subject, and that goes back to
years
past before he began posting here with his variety of handles.
We've had
dealers and professional mechanics, here no longer, that
demonstrated a
lot more knowledge, and we've had hobbyists demonstrating more
knowledge.

Jim never claimed to be an expert in *all* boating issues. He was
well
known and respected when he lived up here for keeping people's
outdrives
working properly, including complete rebuilds when necessary. He
helped
me out a lot in getting one of my first boats (an old Century)
running
and working decently. It should have been deep sixed. One thing I
liked was that he would never take a short cut in the interest of
saving
a couple of bucks. He found and fixed several amateurish "fixes"
on
that boat done by a previous owner that could have resulted in
fires or
other serious safety issues. He earned my respect and has
remained a
good friend. He just doesn't like you very much.




Darn. He doesn't like me. I am crushed.

Your Bozo Bin is full of them.


And all but one have the same thing in common...they're all
hate-filled
right-wingers. The one is slammer. I have no idea what he is, aside
from
a flaming ass.

The only thing in common is your personal definition of what a
"hate-filled right-winger" is. It's not their problem. It's
yours.

But I agree about slammer.
