Well, Jhim, the facts are that you already bought your boat, and
were looking here for some sort of validation.

Nope. I hadn't bought the boat until last week, and I was hoping to get
some information from someone who had sailed the 26M, or who has spoken
with someone who had sailed the 26M, or who knew someting about it.

You didn't get it,
decided no one responded properly, then decided to get on your
high horse about lack of response.

Wrong again! I read all the asinine, opinionated comments from
contributors such as yourself and discovered that the Mac-bashers had
very little of substance to to say. Lots of crap, lots of biased
opinionating, but very little actual information.


Sounds to me like you're the
one who needs to press the down arrow. I mean the lever on the
toilet. You're clearly dumb and an asshole, but not a winner there
either.

Since you don't like what I have to say, feel free to filter me out.
I've been here a long time. I'll be here long after you're sick of
your crackerjack box boat and have to sell it at a huge loss.

It's your choice as to whether you want to continue reading or
responding to my notes. But don't hold your breath expecting me to fold,
or run away.

In that case, all you have to do is to press the "down arrow"

pass by my notes and move on to another topic

That is not with in the spirit of this ng. we all read every single word
posted here because it is our duty to siphon and funnel the miscreants into
some semblance of acceptance. You have already admitted your transgression
of buying a Mac, have promised to stop whining, and have indicated you're
going to start sailing, so we've had some positive effect on you. You had
purchased the sad piece of fiberglass before we could do anything about it,


This isn't what happened at all. I posted my questions several times on
this an on the cruising ng and scanned the reponses for over a month
hoping to get some factual or substantive information regarding the 26M.
It was only after weeks of "Mac bashings" from contributors who, for
the most part, had never even seen the 26M, much less sailed her, that I
concluded that the Mac-Bashers were actually the ones with the problems,
not the answers.

but oh, well...at least the money goes into the US economy...

Yes, at least the California economy will benefit.

jim, how many boats do you expect to sell from this little piece of advertising
fluff you did here?


In the interest of full disclosure,


What full disclosure? That you sell these things? That this whole thread was
a piece of advertising fluff?


If I had continued this discussion without disclosing that I recently
placed an order for the Mac, I would be accused of not being straignt
with the group concerning my intentions and interests. That's so obvious
it's not even worth further discussion.

months, six months, 12 months, or whatever, , I'm not going to turn tail
and run.

Snort...better men than you have made that claim....

Jim asked:
In other words, only sailing stories that 'fit' your preconseptions
regarding the 26M are going to be permitted?

Oh, we'll permit you to tell us your Mac stories and then we'll tear them
apart just as we're doing now....and I don't bet...but it's obvious that you
do gamble since you are the one that bought a Mac....
