Jim asked: Why do you want to
continue wasting time in this discussion if you REALLY think my comments
are totally insignificant and absurd and without merit?

Ok...the honest truth here...we all truly, truly believe that the Mac
designed X and M are bad boats, that they are a sham, and that they are
dangerous. If we KF'd you or ignored you, some newbie is going to read your
glowing, rose-colored glasses reviews of Macs and go out and buy one. Then
we would be responsible for that poor choice. We look upon sailboat
ownership as a responsibility and we look out for other sailors, even the
newbies. When someone makes a poor choice and doesn't have the intelligence
to listen to tried and tue opinion and fact, then we have to take action.
We are the vigilantes of ng sailing. We have a responsibility, and we don't
take that lightly. You have a long, long road ahead of you, but we've had
your kind here before. You will notice they are not here now. Stay if you
wish, but PLEASE, stop repeating yourself. Stop asking the same
questions...you will get the same answers every time. If nothing else, we
are consistent.
