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 in the USA dumb enough to own a MacGregor). oh, don't be so hard on yourself, I'm sure there's one or two more out there. As for my legal practice, although I'm technically retarded, I have all the work I can handle, thank you. Good for you. Scotty |

Thanks for the kind words Scotty. Sorry you had to sell your Mac. You're welcome. Oh, and I didn't have to sell my Mac, I wanted to. Scotty At the time, maybe. - But I've seen several notes you posted since then that suggest you had some good times on your Mack. Jim |

Scotty 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. Jim |

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? Jim JimC wrote: Wilbur Hubbard wrote: There are sailboats and there are sailboats.
