Jim,

A Coleman stove using Coleman fuel is a PITA to say the least. The
largest part of that PITA is ignition. That preheating in a small arena,
such as a small boat's cabin in DANGEROUS!!! Secondly, a unsecured lit
stove on a heeling boat is DANGEROUS!!!. Thirdly; a Coleman in it's
sheet metal, folding container is more than twice the size it should be
for a boat's cabin and a PITA!!! When not in use it has to be stored. On
a small boat like Scout's, with a inboard Diesel engine; storage space
is at a premium. A Colemen is a PITA!!! Jim, also the fuel storage is a
PITA, as is Alcohol but a PITA as well!!!

After saying all that people still use them on board boats but it's one
of the thing that list high on the "PITA LIST!"

wooooooo - relax - what a PITA - I admit I'm wrong - I'm not familar
with the situation and only mentioned it because another guy mentioned
a propane stove - easy Tarzan! Why are you so mad? It's not me who hurt
you. Relax - relax - relax.

Do you understand - relax - just have the common sense to post a msg
that a coleman stove is not a good idea - don't get all upset and feel
the need to use "PITA" in such a ridiculous manner. What's wrong with
you? Did you're wife leave you? No one limkes you? Esteem issues?
Whatever it is - it's not my fault.

Maybe you should go to the archives and read a bunch of posts from the
regulars here so you have a method to weigh what you're saying to whom.
You are speaking to the esteemed patriarch of out group and he has
more experience than all the rest of us wrapped up together.When you've
been here 10 years or so, then maybe you can address Thom like that.
His post was not angry at all. That is just his writing style.

Jim:

Why on earth would would you take such offense at such an innocuous
post? I agree with Thom, Coleman stoves using Naphtha are a pain in the
ass. Heck, they're a PITA on dry land, I'd much rather use a portable
propane stove.

FWIW. (For What It's Worth [contributing to your education here]), I
have an alcohol stove, but I also have a folding propane stove and a
Force 10 propane barbecue on the stern pulpit; they can use the same
disposable 1 lb. canisters. The canisters are easy to stow topsides and
prevent the build up of heavier than air propane in the cabin.

BTW, try not to take every response as a personal attack, some of us
just tend to be a bit terse.

Cheers
Marty

Well she could have been less rude in her response - that's all. She's
proud of the fact that she speaks her mind - there's a name for a
person like that. The rest of us were taught by our parents to be nice.

Hey - I truly apologize if I'm out of line - and if I am - "I'm Sorry"
- but what's katy's problem? in person people have manners. She seems
to think that on the web it's okay to be rude. I disagree.

I'm not being ride...I am being realistic. You have a very tender side.
How DO you manage in a corporate world? Or is that why you're leaving?

WTF - why are you so hostile? What seems to be the problem? How did I
insult you? It seems like you are really emotional and easily upset.
And I'm not going anywhere.
