Jeff, do you actually believe that the warnings regarding the Mac
weren't reviewed by legal counsel? If so, I have several bridges you
might have an interst in.


I never said lawyers weren't invovlved. I only said they were serious warnings.
You were claiming they should not be taken literally, implying that you can't
trust anything a lawyer says.


(Note, This DOES NOT mean that the warnings
about sailing without the water ballast shouldn't be taken seriously.)


What??? How can you be so disingenuous? Oh, I forgot, you're a lawyer.

Remember, you said:

Jeff, have you had many dealings with corporate attorneys? Or tort
lawyers? If you had, you would recognize that these warnings, if taken
literally, are something like the warnings posted in our health center
warning us to be sure to wear our seat belt when using the Nautilus
weight training equipment. Or, like the long list of warnings you get
when you purchase any electrical appliance, audio equipment, etc.

Jim - you're the one who claimed the warnings were just lawyer talk! You can't
take it back, you said this. Perhaps it was because you hadn't sailed the boat
yet. Now that you have, you're admitting that these are serious warnings.
Well, I guess that's about as close a lawyer can get to admitting they were full
of **** to begin with.

Jeff, which part of the warning should I interpret literally? The part
that tells me that the tank should be full when either powering or
sailing, or the part that tells me how to operate the boat without the
water ballast?

Jim
