I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in
which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but
awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?


There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is none of
your business.


It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during her
career? How about children? Do you have children? If so, what do they do
for a living?

No one is asking for *personal* information,

So you do not consider the information about a wife, her employment,
children, their employment to
be personal information?

Hope you're having a spectacular day!


If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned several
times that your wife was a federal employee, and that you have a son or
son in law in the military.

How *personal* is that?

Do you find it revealing and ironic that there are posters here who go
out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or children?

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents. *I* in fact have
over the years mentioned any number of times how nice and gracious your
wife was. Were you offended by that?


Yabut, the sharing or not sharing of any information is the right and up
to the poster. Frankly, I try to be a little careful about how much
info I share in a newsgroup considering the number of people who can see
it who probably never post to rec.boats. Think about it. Google groups
and the numerous web based forums that copy and republish "rec.boats"
makes the total audience fairly large and world wide.
