Keeping this in mind, don't you think it would be wise for a lawyer to
show up in this group with boat having a quality name. A Hinckley, a
Swan, a Wauquiez, a Morris, an Oyster, a Contest. You get the picture.
Could you honestly have much confidence in a lawyer who could not afford
one of the above or was so ignorant that he sailed a MacGregor 26?

To anyone who hasn't realized it, Wilbur (or whoever he is) posted the
initial note trolling in an attempt to get a response from me (the only
lawyer on the ng who owns a MacGregor). Since I didn't take the bait, he
was stuck with all the indignant responses from everyone else and more
or less made an ass of himself. Sorry, Wilbur. - Better luck next time!

As for my legal practice, although I'm technically retired, I have all
the work I can handle, thank you.

oh, don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure there's one or
two more out there.

Good for you.

At the time, maybe. - But I've seen several notes you posted since then
that suggest you had some good times on your Mack.

We had some *great* times on the old Mac.

What's your point?

My point is that, in view of the "great times" you had on your Mac, you
should acknowledge that a Mac can be great fun. - (I never see anything
like that in any of your notes to or about me, which makes your notes
highly misrepresentative and misleading.)

As I have said many times, I'm only attempting to bring a semblance of
balance to discussion of the Macs that seem to delight a small vocal
minority on this ng. I'm not saying that the Macs don't have limitations.

OK. I answered in a rational, reasonable manner. Big mistake, right?. -
Bash away Scotty.

Scotty's sarcastic notes didn't address the gist of my original note, of
course. (They never do. - He seems to be afraid to actually get into a
discussion relating to the substance of what was posted. Like a spoiled
little brat, if he doesn't like the gist of the discussion, he hides
behind his snide, cutesy remarks so he won't have to actually respond to
what was said. - Knowing that if he did, he would get his ass kicked.)

But in any event, does anyone doubt what was stated in my post regarding
Wilbur's problems?
