Some clown thinking he's gonna bring down the wrath of God on a miscreant by posting his story in a news group. Fact is that a posting here has about as much impact as the sound of a tree falling in a vacant wilderness. Sorta reminds me of young lawyers fresh out of law school who thunder in a temper tantrum "I'm a lawyer and I'm gonna sue you." The appropriate answer is generally, of course "So sue me." I hope people's lives don't depend on you getting your facts straight and paying attention to details. |

"Scout" wrote: "Seahag" wrote in message I didn't realize you reported the incident...by all means vent away! The only thought I have is generally lawyers prefer their clients not to discuss a pending case. Since you had an injury have you talked to your insurance company? Perhaps a letter to Boat US would be in order as well. Thanks Haggie, A bruise is all but it could have been a lot worse. I will see them on the water again and would be happy just to see a change in their MO. That's for sure. Nothing like frying bacon and having some jerk pound your boat all over the place. Seahag |
