Interesting newsgroup!

So why are you giving up?

Steve

Well I see that since I left, Matt L. and Ron M. have answered, well,
basically nothing useful for anyone. And he called me a waste of
bandwidth.. Guess they could not make enough money here...

Anyway, I have two boats for sale, one I made, one a friend made.

FOR SALE! 16 foot Brockway Skiff, made by Scotty from SmallBoats.com
over the summer. This is a standard Brockway, flat bottom skiff. 16 x
6.6 feet. Exterior ply, slam down work boat, nuthin' fancy, meets USCG
regs, ready for paint, transom cut for short shaft. $1600

Also, Wooden boat, Nutshell pram made by a local builder, with wooden
boat hardware, new sail, sitka spars, gaff rig, bottom paint, marine
ply, bronze rigging, plug, padded gunnels of foam and firehose trimmed
with leather and bronze nails... Really nice sailing trainer or
mooring tender. Price is negotiable, this is a real pretty boat, used
maybe 5 times, sail has never seen water. Origionally built as a
tender for a 30 foot Sparkman and Stephens sailboat locally...

Any one interested in either of these boats should contact me at
smallboats.com

Because no one's buying Nigerian bank scams any more.

Do you know of one for sale? They sound like they could be pretty
lucrative. (Moreso than boatbuilding and perhaps an innovative way of
financing one's dream boat.) I'm not sure about the part where the victims
are lured to Nigeria, held for ransom or robbed and killed. Could that
part of the business be contracted out? :)

The ever loveable Scotty has returned!

So many thing to be angry and over-react about...so little time. But not
good for the ole health eh Mr. Scott? ;)

WHOA there, Scotty . . .
1 - I basically don't answer any inquires that I have no expertise in, or
that have already been answered positively.

2 - There is NO WAY I would have said YOU were a waste of bandwidth . . . in
fact it was just the OPPOSITE. I even made it a point to ask that you
'stay'. The example I used was the present absence of Kern Hendricks due to
the same type of sniping at someone who was a useful contributor.

3 - I have NEVER 'advertised' my work on this forum . . . other then by
'signing' my name.

bandwith comment was made by someone, other then the 3 parties involved
here, tired of reading the exchanges.

Let's stick to boats. Feel free to blast, shame, beat, and pumle me in
e-mail.
